The effect of thoracic lateral deviation on gait parameters in blindfolded gait.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 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
[Purpose] To investigate the influence of thoracic lateral deviation on gait trajectory during blindfolded gait in able-bodied participants. [Participants and Methods] Twenty-three healthy adult males were classified into left, excessive left, and right groups based on thoracic lateral deviation while standing. Gait speed, progression angle, and pelvic and thoracic rotation angles were measured under full vision and no vision conditions using three-dimensional motion analysis. The effect size was calculated for each group. [Results] Thirteen participants were classified into the left group, nine into the excessive left group, and one into the right group. The patient in the right group was excluded from the study. Both remaining groups showed significantly smaller progression angles during no-vision gait, indicating leftward gait deviation. The pelvic and thoracic rotation angles were significantly smaller during no-vision gait only in the excessive left group. Effect sizes were larger in the excessive left group than in the left group. [Conclusion] Participants with excessive left thoracic deviation exhibited significant leftward gait deviation and increased leftward pelvic and thoracic rotations during blindfolded gait. Left thoracic deviation may influence structural asymmetry and sensory input, and is related to gait trajectory during blindfolded gait. These findings provide insights into the potential causes of gait asymmetry in able-bodied participants.
