Correlation Between Balance, Agility, and Speed Among Children Participating in Roller Skating.
Article in Cureus, 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
introductionBalance, agility, and speed are fundamental motor skills essential for optimal performance in roller skating; understanding their relationship helps identify key performance factors. Early identification of deficits in any of these areas can aid in injury prevention, especially in developing children. This study addresses a gap in the existing literature by examining the interrelationship between these skills in child roller skaters.
methodsA total of 63 subjects who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected using convenience sampling. Demographic data were obtained. Balance, speed, and agility were assessed using the Y-Balance Test, Arrowhead Change of Direction Speed Test, and T-test, respectively.
resultsA significant moderate positive correlation was found between agility and speed (r = 0.5011, p < 0.0001). Significant negative correlations were observed between balance and agility for the right lower limb (r = -0.3225, p = 0.0099) and between balance and speed for both the right lower limb (r = -0.3887, p = 0.0016) and left lower limb (r = -0.3091, p = 0.0137). No significant correlation was found between left lower limb balance and agility (r = -0.2139, p = 0.0923).
conclusionDynamic balance is significantly associated with agility and speed in children participating in roller skating. Better balance was related to superior agility and speed performance, with right-limb balance showing stronger associations than left-limb balance. These findings highlight the importance of balance in enhancing skating-related performance.
