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
backgroundPeople with diabetes have an increased risk of falls, potentially related to impaired postural control, peripheral neuropathy, and vestibular dysfunction. This secondary fall-focused analysis examined whether video head impulse test (vHIT) and computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) measures were associated with previous self-reported falls in the DIAFALL cohort.
methodFall data were available for 108 participants aged 40-80 years: 11 controls, 49 with type 1 diabetes (T1D), and 48 with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Previously collected vHIT and CDP measures, including Sensory Organisation Test (SOT) and Motor Control Test outcomes, were analysed in relation to falls within the previous 12 months. Logistic regression examined associations with falls, and secondary Spearman analyses explored selected clinical markers.
resultsvHIT and CDP measures did not consistently identify participants with previous falls. Lower SOT4 scores were associated with falls in unadjusted analyses in the total cohort (p = 0.02) and T1D subgroup (p = 0.04), but not after adjustment (p = 0.54 and p = 0.11, respectively). In T1D, lower left anterior vHIT gain was associated with falls, but this finding was based on few events and unsupported by other canal measures.
conclusionvHIT and CDP did not robustly identify previous self-reported falls. Findings were exploratory and require confirmation in prospective studies.
