Dual-task standing in older adults with mild cognitive impairment: postural control complexity, prefrontal activation, and cognitive task performance.

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
Background: This study aimed to quantify prefrontal cortex (PFC) activation and postural control complexity in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) during single-task standing and dual-task standing balance conditions and to investigate the associations between these measures. Methods: This secondary analysis included 21 older adults with MCI (71.19 ± 3.36 years) and 19 cognitively intact controls (70.16 ± 4.54 years) from a previously reported cohort. Outcomes included cognitive performance, sample entropy of COP displacement (SampEn-COP), PFC activation across four bilateral functional regions, and exploratory correlations between PFC activation and SampEn-COP. Results: A significant group effect was observed for SampEn-COPml, with lower values in the MCI group than in the control group ( Conclusion: Older adults with MCI showed a less complex medial-lateral postural control pattern than cognitively intact older adults. During dual-task standing, changes in postural complexity were accompanied by preliminary evidence of task-related increases in DLPFC and OFC activation in the MCI group, suggesting greater prefrontal involvement in managing concurrent cognitive and postural demands.
