Effects of core-lower limb coordinated Pilates on gait and balance in women with flexible pes planus: a pilot randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in International biomechanics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
In this pilot randomized controlled trial, we assessed the effects of a core-lower limb coordinated Pilates exercise on gait and postural balance in women with bilateral flexible pes planus. Twenty-two women aged 34.64 ± 9.59 years with bilateral navicular drop ≥10 mm assessed by the navicular drop test (NDT) were randomly assigned to either a Pilates training group or a control group. Gait parameters - including foot off, step time, stride time, walking speed, and cadence - were assessed using a validated three-dimensional motion analysis system. Postural balance was quantified as center of pressure (COP) sway in both anterior - posterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) directions, including range, velocity, and root mean square (RMS), using a force plate. Gait and balance were evaluated at baseline and after the 8-week intervention. Significant improvements were observed in step-time (
