1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeThis study aimed to determine explanatory mechanisms of postural control disorders in adult women with IDA.

methodsForty adult women with IDA participated in this cross-sectional study. Attentional capacity, muscle performance, fatigue, proprioceptive acuity, and postural control were assessed.

resultsOur results revealed that, in general, the center of pressure velocity (CoPv) values were significantly correlated with hemoglobin (Hb) (P < 0.01) and serum ferritin (P < 0.05) concentrations, alterations in attentional capacity (P < 0.05), proprioceptive acuity (P < 0.05), muscle performance (P < 0.05), and fatigue scores (P < 0.05). Furthermore, regression analysis showed that Hb and serum ferritin levels, proprioceptive acuity, muscle performance, and general, physique and mental fatigue were associated with postural disorders in IDA women.

conclusionThis study demonstrated a relationship between postural control in women with IDA and Hb and serum ferritin levels, attentional capacity, proprioceptive acuity, muscle performance, and fatigue scores. Particularly, regression analysis indicated that Hb and serum ferritin concentrations, muscle performance, proprioception, and general, physical, and mental fatigue were associated with postural control in women with IDA.
