Article in Hippokratia, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06351267 (Combined Effects of Core Stability Exercises and Back Strengthening Exercises on Pregnancy-Induced Back Pain, Disability and Function.), which is not on this map. Cited by 45 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from 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.
