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.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether and to what extent the immediate generalization of treadmill slip-perturbation training could be retained over 6 months to resist overground slip-induced falls. Four protocols (Tc: treadmill control; Tt: treadmill slip-perturbation training; Oc: overground control; Ot: overground slip-perturbation training) from two randomized controlled trials were compared in which two training protocols were executed with single-session repeated slip-perturbation training on the treadmill or overground context, while two control protocols were executed without repeated training. A total of 152 community-dwelling older adults (≥ 65 years) who were trained by one of the four protocols and tested by an overground slip in the initial session attended a retest session 6 months later. Falls were detected by a load cell. Data collected from motion analysis system and force plates were used to calculate stability. Tt group had no significant change in fall incidence from initial post-training test to retest. Tt group had significantly lower fall incidence (p < 0.05) and higher reactive stability (p < 0.05) than Tc group in retest. Tt group had significantly higher fall incidence (p < 0.05) and lower reactive stability (p < 0.01) than Ot group. The generalization of a single session of treadmill slip-perturbation training to overground slip resulted in inferior outcomes compared with overground slip-perturbation training (absolute retention), although the training generalization could be retained over 6 months (relative retention). Thus, treadmill slip-perturbation training could be more convenient to use if future dose-response studies indicate better or equal efficacy to overground slip-perturbation training.
