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
Purpose: Dynamic balance, an important contributor to fall risk in older adults, involves maintaining the center of pressure while in locomotive states and is. Fall risk appraisal (FRA) is defined as assessing an older adult's awareness of their physiological and perceived fall risk. This longitudinal study aimed to evaluate how multimodal factors predict fluctuations in dynamic balance in community-dwelling low-income older adults, utilizing fear of falling (FoF), static balance, fall history, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Patients and Methods: The longitudinal study included 140 community-dwelling, low-income older adults, with 124 women and 16 men. FoF was assessed using the Short Falls Efficacy Scale International (Short FES-I) and static balance using BTracks Balance Test (BBT). Both were utilized to define FRA Distance, an integrated quantification of physiological and perceived balance deficits. MVPA was assessed using accelerometers, fall history using self-report, and dynamic balance using the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. The study was conducted at 4 timepoints at T1 (baseline), T2 (2 months), T3 (4 months), and T4 (6 months). Results: Using mixed effects multilevel models, TUG scores were predicted by time, %MVPA, and FRA distance ratio. The effect of FRA distance ratio was primarily driven by FoF, and the effect of %MVPA varied by age. Additionally, while fall history did not show a predictive relationship with TUG scores, it did predict FRA distance. Conclusion: Dynamic balance fluctuated over time and was influenced by multimodal factors, namely MVPA and FRA, which captured the interplay between static balance and FoF. Fall history did not directly predict dynamic balance but played a role in FRA, implicating the subjective effects of fall history. These findings demonstrate how physical activity, FRA, and their interactions can predict changes in dynamic balance. Future work can utilize the results to evaluate low-cost interventions for community-dwelling older adults.
