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: Basketball requires players to perform complex technical actions under conditions of dynamic instability. Traditional stability and strength training mainly improves muscle strength; however, it is often insufficient for improving postural control and neuromuscular coordination. Instability resistance training (IRT) enhances sensory integration, core activation, and dynamic stability by introducing unstable supporting surfaces and disturbing environments. Objectives: Based on sensory-motor control theory, core stability theory, and dynamic system theory, this study investigated the effects of IRT on static balance, dynamic balance, core muscle recruitment, and performance during a controlled stop-jump shooting task in college basketball players. Methods: Sixty college basketball players were randomly divided into two groups: an IRT and a traditional strength training group (TST). The intervention lasted for 8 weeks, with training sessions conducted twice weekly for 90 min each. Outcome measures included the modified Romberg test, the Y-Balance test, core muscle activation expressed as a percentage of maximum voluntary contraction (%MVC) using surface electromyography, and performance in a controlled stop-jump shooting task. Data were analyzed using paired-sample and independent-sample Results: After training, the IRT group demonstrated significant improvements in static balance (+7.14 s, Conclusion: IRT achieves multilevel neuromuscular adaptation by enhancing sensory integration, improving core stability, and promoting motor coordination and self-organization. Compared with traditional strength training, IRT appears to be more effective in developing functional strength and dynamic stability ability of basketball players. Future studies should expand the sample size, group participants according to field position, and include electromyographic timing and spectral indicators to further clarify the neuromuscular mechanisms underlying core control.
