Synergistic effects of elastic band and vibration training on muscle strength, balance, and mobility in older women with a history of falls: a randomised controlled trial.
Article in Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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: This study aimed to investigate the effects of combined elastic band resistance training (EBRT) and whole-body vibration training (WBVT) on lower limb isokinetic muscle strength, balance and physical performance in older women with history of falls. Methods: A total of 102 older women with a history of falls was randomly assigned to the elastic band group ( Results: Post-intervention, knee flexion peak torque increased by 9.7% ( Conclusion: The combined EBRT and WBVT can enhance knee and ankle isokinetic muscle strength, improve balance ability and physical performance and reduce fear of falls by a greater degree than single interventions. EBRT and WBVT had limited effects on improving lower limb isokinetic muscle strength but enhanced balance ability, physical performance, and reduced fear of falls in older women with a history of falls. Both training modalities showed similar effects.
