Investigation of the effects of balance exercises on visuospatial skills using EEG brain oscillations.
Article in Cognitive neurodynamics, 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
Visual-spatial attention (VSA) selects relevant sensory information and supports the preparation of responses to this information. Mental rotation (MR) is the ability to rotate an object seen from a certain perspective to a new orientation in space. Exercise stands out as a promising non-pharmacological treatment for cognitive functions. Balance control is known to be related to the visual system. Therefore, the aim was to investigate the effectiveness of video-based balance games and structured balance exercises on VSA and MR with EEG brain oscillations. 30 healthy participants were included in the study. Participants were divided into two groups (structured balance exercises group (SBEG) and video-based balance exercises group (VBBEG)) by randomization. Both groups received exercise sessions 2 days a week for a total of 6 weeks. The mentioned cognitive functions were evaluated by selecting tests previously used in the literature. For the VSA task, after 6 weeks of exercise, occipital theta (4-7 Hz) power decreased in the VBBEG group, while SBEG increased. In the MR task results, high alpha (11-13 Hz) power decreased in VBBEG and increased in SBEG when centroparietal areas were examined. In conclusion, it is thought that the two different exercise methods may affect visual-spatial attention and mental rotation skills in different ways.
