Effects of arch support insoles on the standing balance of community-dwelling older adults with mild cognitive impairment.

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
People with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) exhibit subtle but measurable cognitive deficits and a decline in balance. This study explored the effects of arch support insoles on standing balance in community-dwelling older adults with MCI. This was a quasi-experimental study with a single-group pre- and post-test design. Fifteen older adults with MCI were enrolled in the study. Postural stability, fall risk, and limits of stability tests, as well as the modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance, were conducted using the Biodex balance system SD before and after an 8-week intervention with arch support insoles. After the intervention, the fall risk index (1.27 ± 0.50 vs 0.87 ± 0.33, P = .006) decreased significantly. Some medium-to-large effect sizes were noted in the postural stability index and foam surface with eyes open testing condition of the modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance. The use of arch support insoles may enhance standing balance in older adults with MCI; it may contribute to fall prevention in this population. Further well-designed controlled trials are warranted to strengthen causal inferences.
