Comparative effectiveness of floss band-augmented perceptual balance training on balance, proprioception, and lower limb function in women with chronic ankle instability: Implications for injury prevention and rehabilitation in public health.

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
In this study, an assessor-blinded randomized trial with concealed allocation was conducted. Thirty women aged 25-35 years with chronic ankle instability (CAIT score ≤ 24 on the affected ankle) were randomly assigned (1:1) to perceptual balance (PB) training with floss bands (FB group, n = 15) or PB training alone (n = 15). Both groups completed a 6-week program (3 sessions/week), progressing from static to dynamic and plyometric tasks. FBs were applied at perceived occlusion pressure of 5-7/10 (0-10 scale); no adverse events occurred. Outcomes (assessed on the affected limb only) included static balance (single-leg stance time), dynamic balance (Y-balance test-normalized reaches in anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral directions and composite score), ankle proprioception [joint position sense (JPS) error at 20° plantarflexion], and functional performance (single-leg hop and triple-hop for distance). A 2 × 2 mixed ANOVA (time × group) was used, with Bonferroni post hoc tests. Effect sizes were partial η² (ANOVA interactions) and Cohen's d
