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

Trunk stability can contribute to preserving balance and functional independence in older adults. This study aimed to (a) assess age- and sex-related declines in trunk stability, dynamic balance, hip strength, and functional mobility in participants aged 30-80, and (b) examine trunk stability contribution to balance and functional mobility in those over 60. One hundred and twenty-seven healthy and physically active individuals performed two posturographic protocols, the tandem stance test and the unstable sitting test to assess whole-body dynamic balance and trunk stability, respectively, besides a functional mobility test through the modified Timed Up & Go test and a dynamometer test to measure hip strength. Linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between all variables and ages. Subsequently, one-way ANOVAs to assess between-sex differences and a correlation analysis were performed to examine the potential relationship of unstable sitting posturographic test performance with the modified Timed Up & Go and tandem stance posturographic tests performance in participants over 60 years of age. The main results were that trunk stability and whole-body dynamic balance showed a linear decline with age in males (R
