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 feasibility and immediate effects of dynamic exercise using mixed reality (MR), a technology that allows real-time interaction between physical surroundings and computer-generated virtual objects, in older adults and individuals with Parkinson's disease and stroke. Design: Prospective single-arm intervention study. Setting: Rehabilitation ward in the hospital. Participants: Thirty-one participants, including 10 community-dwelling older adults without neurologic or neuromuscular disorders (4 women; mean age, 70.4 y; SD, 3.0), 11 outpatients with Parkinson's disease (4 women; mean age, 68.4 y; SD, 7.6), and 10 individuals with a stroke (3 women; mean age, 62.8 y; SD, 16.2) in a subacute rehabilitation ward were recruited. Interventions: Participants performed MR-based exercise for approximately 20 minutes. Main Outcome Measures: After exercise, participants rated their level of simulator sickness using the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ). They further rated their enjoyment, continuation, exercise effectiveness, and fatigue using a Numerical Rating Scale. The Timed Up and Go test and Functional Reach Test were performed both before and after the exercise. Results: The median SSQ-nausea, SSQ-oculomotor, SSQ-disorientation, and SSQ-total scores were 9.5, 7.6, 0.0, and 7.5, respectively, indicating a low likelihood of simulator sickness. The median Numerical Rating Scale scores for enjoyment, continuation, effectiveness, and fatigue were 8.0, 8.0, 7.5, and 2.0, respectively. The Timed Up and Go test in individuals with stroke and Functional Reach Test in older adults showed significant improvement after exercise ( Conclusions: Dynamic exercises with MR may be sufficiently feasible to perform balance exercises with less risk of simulator sickness, offering the potential to improve balance ability.
