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
Rehabilitating a stable, upright posture requires tailoring therapeutic training to the multiscale dynamics of postural control. Wobble board training offers a unique approach to postural rehabilitation by fostering safe, shorter-scale variability, scaffolding an individual's exploration of longer-scale multijoint coordination between the center of mass (CoM) situated within the midsection of the standing body and the postural center of pressure (CoP) located on the support surface. We tested 48 healthy young adults standing on a wobble board, inducing mediolateral (ML) instability, to examine how wobble board training influences multijoint coordination. Detrended Moving Average (DMA) analysis of CoM and CoP fluctuations yielded fluctuation functions showing that wobble board training caused CoM and CoP variability to diverge at shorter timescales and converge at longer timescales. Specifically, crossovers along the anteroposterior (AP) axis fluctuations occurred later for CoM fluctuations and earlier for CoP fluctuations, suggesting that reflex activity persists over longer timescales for CoM fluctuations in the AP direction, whereas CoP fluctuations showed the reverse, that is, the extension of longer-timescale intentional resetting of equilibrium. Wobble board training reduced temporal correlations for CoM fluctuations while enhancing them for CoP fluctuations without compromising shorter-scale temporal correlations, even during a secondary visual search task. So, wobble board training promotes robust postural control strategies, shifting control from CoM to CoP into proactive, AP-oriented variability-an approach that could help tailor wobble board training to individualize postural rehabilitation. Multiscale modeling of posture thus advances understanding of the physical-therapeutic application of wobble boards to posture, amounting to effective rehabilitative training of CoP response to CoM excursion.
