1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 static acrobatic gymnastics pyramids, maintaining stability in a multi-person system is critical, yet unconstrained floor baselines and base-to-top pairing mechanics remain poorly quantified. This study evaluated postural stability in shoulder-stand pyramids, examining the interplay of two specific top-athlete variations (lighter Pyramid T1 vs. heavier Pyramid T2) and base-athlete stances (parallel vs. tandem). Five elite base-athletes were monitored while supporting two top-athlete variations, a lighter (Pyramid T1) and a heavier (Pyramid T2) during a standard static shoulder-stand pyramid across parallel and tandem foot placement configurations (three trials in each Pyramid variation). Unconstrained free floor-standing baselines were also recorded for base-athletes and for tops prior to and following pyramid trials. The root mean square (
