Reliability and validity of the balance recovery confidence scale in persons with stroke.
Article in Frontiers in aging neuroscience, 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: Balance recovery confidence represents a salient psychological factor influencing fall risk and functional mobility. The perceived ability to regain balance following a destabilising event may vary substantially among individuals. The Balance Recovery Confidence (BRC) Scale was developed to quantify perceived ability to regain balance across a range of destabilising situations. However, its psychometric properties have not yet been established in persons with stroke. Objectives: To translate the BRC Scale into Thai and evaluate its reliability, validity, and ability to discriminate fall history in persons with stroke. Methods: This cross-sectional study translated the BRC into Thai following established guidelines and recruited 180 individuals with subacute or chronic stroke from tertiary rehabilitation centers. Psychometric evaluations included test-retest reliability (ICC), internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha), construct validity (Spearman's correlations with BESTest items 14-18 and the ABC-Thai), and discriminative validity using ROC analysis with fall history as the reference. Results: The BRC-Thai demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.991) and strong correlations with BESTest items 14-18 (r = 0.766) and the ABC-Thai (r = 0.838). Internal consistency was excellent (Cronbach's Conclusion: The BRC-Thai is a reliable and valid measure of perceived reactive balance recovery in individuals with stroke.
