Effects of Noisy Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation on the Muscle Activity and Joint Movements in Different Standing Postures Conditions.
Article in Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Objective: Noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation (nGVS) is an effective method for stabilizing posture; however, little is known regarding the detailed muscle activity and joint movement in the standing posture. This study aimed to clarify the changes in the lower limb muscle activity and joint angular velocity by nGVS intervention using the simultaneous assessment method of inertial measurement units and surface electromyography (EMG). Methods: Seventeen healthy participants were assessed for their physical responses under four conditions (standing on a firm surface with eyes-open/eyes-closed, and a foam surface with eyes-open/eyes-closed) without stimulation (baseline) and with stimulation (sham or nGVS). Noise stimuli were applied for 30 s at a level below the perceptual threshold. The body control response was evaluated using EMG activity and angular velocity of the lower limbs. Result: Regarding the change from baseline for each parameter, there was a significant interactive effect of EMG activity in the muscle type × intervention and EMG activity and angular velocity in the condition × intervention. Conclusion: Our results suggest that nGVS altered physical responses in different standing postural conditions. The present study is exploratory and therefore the evidence should be investigated in future studies specifically target those muscle activities and joint motion parameters.
