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.

2 · The registry

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

[Purpose] To establish the test-retest reliability of an iPhone application and determine the immediate effect of motor control exercise (MCE) on lumbar position sense. [Participants and Methods] This study used a two-arm, randomized controlled trial design with a blinded assessor. Sixty healthy participants were randomized into the exercise or control group. The exercise group underwent 30-min MCE, whereas the control group rested for 15 min. Lumbar motion measured by two iPhones with goniometer application was used to determine the test-retest reliability. Absolute repositioning errors (pre- and post-test) from the control and exercise groups were used to determine the immediate effect of MCE on lumbar position sense. [Results] The test-retest reliability was 0.67-0.95. A significant interaction effect was found for Angle*Time, main effect of Angle, and main effect of Time. Post-hoc comparison showed a significant improvement in position sense at 45° and 60° in the exercise group. [Conclusion] The findings suggest that a mobile phone application has the ability to detect changes in lumbar position sense between sessions that exceed measurement error following MCE. One session of specific MCE can improve lumbar position sense at high lumbar flexion.
