Optimization and Randomized Controlled Evaluation of Plantar White Noise Vibration for Balance Improvement in Young Adults.
Trial report in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Postural control is essential for daily function, and while stochastic resonance (SR) enhances balance in clinical populations, its efficacy in healthy young people remains underexplored. This study investigated (1) biomechanical effects of multisite plantar vibration on postural stability using center-of-pressure (CoP) parameters, and (2) short-term and sustained effects on balance performances. Phase 1 enrolled six participants to identify the optimal plantar stimulation configuration and to evaluate acute electromyographic responses under threshold-level vibration. Phase 2 evaluated long-term efficacy through an eight-week sham-controlled parallel-group randomized controlled trial. In this trial, eight participants received vibration combined with balance training, and another eight participants completed the same training protocol using sham insoles without vibration, analyzing CoP parameters (95% ellipse area, path length) and muscle activation (tibialis anterior, medial gastrocnemius, peroneus longus, extensor digitorum longus). Results showed full-site vibration reduced CoP area versus control (265.66 ± 188.6 mm
