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

Background: Children and youth with intellectual disabilities (IDs) are at risk of falls due to balance problems. Objective: This study was conducted to assess the effects of six weeks of core stability exercises on balance in this population. Methods: Thirty-five participants with IDs from a special school were selected. Static and dynamic balance were assessed by the one-legged stance test (OLS) and lower quarter Y balance test (YBT-LQ), respectively. Results: Core stability exercises significantly improved static balance with eyes opened (EO) on firm (FI) ground ( Conclusions: Six weeks of core stability exercises significantly improved the static balance of children and youth with IDs under EO and FI conditions, as well as all three directions of dynamic balance. Future studies with multiple measurement points are warranted to examine the long-term effectiveness of this training on balance in this population.
