Association of static balance parameters with prediabetes: a cross-sectional study and nomogram development.
Observational study in Frontiers in endocrinology, 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
Objective: To investigate the association between static balance function parameters and prediabetes, and to develop a nomogram integrating center-of-pressure path length, Romberg ratios, and sex, thereby evaluating its potential as a candidate functional screening tool. Methods: A cross-sectional observational design was adopted. A total of 97 patients with prediabetes and 44 age-matched healthy controls were consecutively enrolled from January 2024 to June 2025 at the Third People's Hospital Affiliated to Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. General characteristics and static balance parameters under four sensory conditions were compared between groups. Variables were first screened via Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression, followed by multivariable logistic regression to identify independent associations. A nomogram was then constructed. Model discrimination and calibration were assessed using the receiver operating characteristic curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow test, and 1000-bootstrap internal validation (corrected C-statistic, calibration slope/intercept, Brier score). Effect sizes were quantified using Cohen's d. Results: Compared with the healthy control group, the prediabetes group exhibited significantly higher values for Y-COP and COP-PL under Condition 1, RRA and RRT under Condition 2/1, as well as Y-COP, COP-EA, and COP-PL under Conditions 3 and 4 (all Conclusions: Static balance indices including T1 COP-PL, T3 COP-PL, and T4/T3 RRA are associated with prediabetes. The nomogram combining these measures with sex demonstrated robust performance in internal validation, offering a functional perspective that may aid in the auxiliary screening of prediabetes. Nevertheless, as a cross-sectional exploratory study, these associations do not imply causality, and the model requires external validation before its clinical generalizability can be determined.
