Functional Sensorimotor-Based Training for Balance and Gait Enhancement in Sedentary Older Women: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Article in Health science reports, 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
Background and Aims: Sensorimotor training has emerged as a promising intervention to enhance gait and balance and potentially reduce fall risk. However, evidence on its effectiveness and the short-term durability of these effects is limited, especially in sedentary older women. This study therefore aimed to investigate the impact of functional sensorimotor-based training on balance, gait performance, and fall risk in this population. Methods: This randomized controlled clinical trial investigated the effects of sensorimotor training on balance and gait in sedentary older women. Thirty participants aged 60-75 years residing in nursing homes in Guilan province were randomly assigned to an experimental group ( Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in variables of the Fear of falling (F = 9.066; Conclusions: The findings provide preliminary evidence that sensorimotor training may improve lower-limb function, balance, gait, and joint proprioception in sedentary older women. Several motor and sensory outcomes showed notable gains, suggesting that this intervention could support postural control, walk efficiency, and potentially reduce fall risk in geriatric rehabilitation settings.
