Inertial Sensor-Based Assessment of Postural Control During Modified Romberg Conditions: Normative Reference Metrics from Healthy Adults.

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
Postural control relies on the integration of visual, vestibular, and somatosensory inputs under biomechanical constraints. Conventional Romberg testing provides limited quantitative insight, particularly regarding directional control and sensory dependence. Wearable inertial measurement units (IMUs) enable portable, multidimensional assessment of postural sway. Thirty healthy adults (15 females, 15 males) completed a modified Romberg protocol with systematic manipulation of stance (normal, tandem), visual condition (eyes open, eyes closed), and arm position (arms at sides, arms forward), including both left and right leading foot during tandem stance. Whole-body kinematics were recorded using a full-body IMU system comprising 17 wireless sensors. Center-of-mass (CoM) trajectories were derived from a 23-segment biomechanical model, and linear, spatial, and nonlinear sway metrics were computed. Statistical analyses were conducted using repeated-measures ANOVA, with significance set at
