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
Purpose: The objectives of this study were to understand the experiences, perceptions, and clinical practice of physiotherapists involved in planning, data collection, and interpretation for a study using a standardized measure of standing balance (the Mini Balance Evaluation Systems Test [Mini BESTest]). Method: We conducted a concurrent mixed methods study. We conducted semi-structured interviews with five phsyiotherapists exploring perceptions and experiences. We administered questionnaires on study satisfaction, confidence, and intention to use the Mini BESTest six times during the study. We extracted use of the Mini BESTest on non-study patients from a patient database. Results: Physiotherapists administered the Mini BESTest for all 59 clinical study patients. Study satisfaction was high (median 80%) and increased over time ( Conclusions: Involving physiotherapists in clinical research increased confidence and use of the measure with non-study patients.
