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

Objective: This study aimed to examine the role of visual information in static balance control and to explore the coupling between brain network topological properties and balance performance in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods: Thirty-four older adults with MCI and 34 cognitively normal (CN) performed two-leg standing tasks with eyes open and eyes closed on a three-dimensional force platform to assess center of pressure indices. fNIRS was used to evaluate the topological properties of brain networks across regions of interest. Results: Compared with the eyes-open condition, the MCI group showed significantly greater sway area ( Conclusion: Older adults with MCI show reduced balance control under visual restriction. The association between impaired balance and decreased brain network efficiency suggests that disrupted neural organization contributes to balance deficits in MCI.
