Impact of pregnancy on back pain and body posture in women.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06287281 (Repercussions on Spinal Posture Before and After Wearing High-heeled Shoes in a Sample of Young Women), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 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.

Abstract
[Purpose] The purpose of this single-center investigation was to study the impact of pregnancy on back pain and body posture. [Subjects] The subjects were 26 pregnant females. [Methods] Data were generated with a spine scanner (Diers(®) formetric 4D), trunk strength measurement (Diers(®) myoline), a numeric pain scale (0 to 10), and a biomechanical model. Parameters were compared during each trimester. [Results] The alteration in pain level at rest and lumbar lordosis angle in the females revealed a statistical trend during pregnancy. Spearman's test showed positive correlations between body weight and trunk inclination during the second trimester, and between body weight and the kyphosis angle in the third trimester. The trunk inclination and the kyphosis angle revealed a negative correlation in the third trimester. Based on our analysis, the highest moments and muscle strength must be expended in the third trimester. The actual muscle strength is greatest in the second trimester. [Conclusion] Pain at rest must be given greater attention in pregnant females, and their increasing lumbar kyphosis must be counteracted. Exercising the deep segmental muscles may serve as a preventive measure.
