Stroboscopic balance training enhances dynamic stability and postural control in collegiate badminton players: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in PeerJ, 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 and landing stability are critical for performance in high-intensity sports such as badminton; however, conventional balance training may not adequately replicate the intermittent visual disturbances encountered during competition. Stroboscopic visual training (SVT), which intermittently occludes visual input to challenge sensory processing, has shown potential benefits but remains underexplored in badminton-specific settings. This study aimed to investigate the effects of SVT on static balance, dynamic balance, and landing stability in trained collegiate badminton athletes. Methods: A six-week randomized controlled trial was conducted in 20 male collegiate badminton players, who were randomly assigned to either an SVT group ( Results: The SVT group demonstrated significantly greater improvements than the CON group in static balance, dynamic balance, and landing stability ( Discussion: These findings suggest that incorporating SVT into training may be an effective strategy for enhancing postural control and landing stability in badminton athletes. From a practical perspective, these improvements may contribute to greater movement efficiency, enhanced landing control, and faster transitions during high-intensity play. Future studies should further investigate the underlying mechanisms and the transfer of these adaptations to sport-specific performance.
