The effect of posture on neck proprioception and head/neck stabilization in asymptomatic participants.
Article in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveWe sought to determine the effect of different body postures on neck proprioception and head/neck stabilization.
methodsTwelve healthy college students completed a head repositioning task and a 'head still' task while wearing a headpiece (helmet) with laser fixed on top during standing, kneeling, sitting, and sitting with stabilization. Video data of the laser dot coordinates on a projection screen were obtained to examine the accuracy of the two tasks.
resultsThere was a significant effect of both posture and vision for both vertical and horizontal head movements during the head still task. Standing and kneeling generated more variable head movement than sitting with or without stabilization. Posture did not significantly affect head repositioning accuracy.
conclusionFor healthy young adults, clinicians and researchers need to be concerned with postural influences on tasks that involve head/cervical spine stabilization, but not head repositioning accuracy.
