Music-integrated strength-proprioceptive training improves lower-limb performance and postural balance in adolescents with visual impairment: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Scientific 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
Adolescents with visual impairment (VI) often exhibit reduced physical fitness (PF) and functional autonomy due to limited sensory input and restricted opportunities for physical activity (PA). While integrating music into exercise programs has been shown to enhance motor engagement and sensory compensation in other populations, its potential role within physical training for adolescents with VI remains underexplored. Therefore, this study investigated whether integrating music listening into a combined strength-proprioceptive physical training program could further enhance PF in adolescents with congenital VI. Fifty-nine volunteer participants were randomly assigned to a physical training group (PTG), music-physical training group (MPTG) and control group (CG). The sit-to-stand test (STST), the Killy test, the functional reach test (FRT), and the single-leg stance test (SLST) were conducted before and after 8 weeks of training to assess PF. Our results showed significant pre-post improvements in all assessed PF outcomes in both PTG and MPTG (all p < 0.001) following the intervention. While both PTG and MPTG demonstrated significant pre-post improvements, post-intervention scores in STST (36.80 ± 6.17 vs. 29.47 ± 3.23 reps), Killy test (77.42 ± 20.10 vs. 63.57 ± 21.16 s), and SLST (25.09 ± 4.33 vs. 20.31 ± 5.99 s) were significantly (p < 0.001; p < 0.01; p < 0.001 respectively) higher in the MPTG compared to the PTG. However, no significant between-group difference was observed for the FRT (42.04 ± 4.81 vs. 40.84 ± 5.82 cm) following the intervention. No meaningful changes were observed in the control group. These findings suggest that integrating music into strength-proprioceptive training may provide an additional benefit for selected functional capacities in adolescents with VI, which may in turn support greater autonomy in daily activities.
