Analysis of postural control through nonlinear methods in older adults: 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: Human balance and body orientation are regulated by the postural control system, which plays a critical role in stability, particularly with advancing age. Objective: This study examined the effects of a sensorimotor training program on postural control in older adults (55-80 years), investigating how targeted exercise may influence postural regulation. Methods: A total of 86 community-dwelling individuals aged 55 and 80 years participated in the study and were randomly assigned to a Control Group (CG, Results: Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) analyses adjusted for baseline values revealed selective between-group differences. Approximate Entropy (ApEn) showed a significant effect in mediolateral sway under eyes-open conditions (ApEn_ML_OE: Conclusions: Sensorimotor training was associated with selective changes in nonlinear postural control measures, particularly under reduced visual input. However, responses were heterogeneous, indicating that effects were not uniform across individuals. These findings suggest that targeted exercise interventions may modulate specific aspects of postural control in older adults, with potential relevance for balance regulation and fall prevention.
