Postural stability in individuals with and without motion sickness assessed by computerized posturography: sensory integration and balance mechanisms.
Article in Brazilian journal of otorhinolaryngology, 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
objectiveTo evaluate whether individuals with motion sickness present differences in postural control and sensory integration compared with controls, through assessment with computerized dynamic posturography.
methodsA prospective study was conducted including 30 patients with motion sickness and 61 controls without balance disorders. All participants underwent limit of stability testing and the six conditions of posturography using the Horus® platform. Equilibrium scores and sensory ratios (somatosensory, visual, vestibular, and visual preference) were calculated. Statistical analyses were performed using MannWhitney, chisquare, and ANCOVA tests, adopting a 5% significance level.
resultsAfter age adjustment, no significant differences were observed in the limit of stability area (p = 0.271) or in equilibrium scores under any of the posturography conditions. Sensory ratios and the composite equilibrium index were also similar between groups.
conclusionIndividuals with motion sickness exhibited posturographic performance comparable to controls, suggesting preserved sensory integration for balance maintenance outside symptomatic episodes.
