Inter and Intra Operator Reliability of Motor and Palpation Evaluation in Fascial Manipulation in individuals with coxarthrosis.
Trial report in The Journal of manual & manipulative therapy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveAn inter and intra rater reliability (INTERR and INTRAR) study was designed.
methods71 subjects, with primary hip coxarthrosis, were included and randomly divided in a study group (SG= 36) and a control group (CG= 35) to assess the efficacy of the Fascial Manipulation® (FM®) method. The primary objective was the assessment of INTERR and INTRAR about movement verification (MV) and palpation verification (PV) of FM® performed by two physiotherapists (PtA and PtB). The secondary objective was evaluate the efficacy of FM® through MV, PV and pain score. Pain was assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). SG received three weekly sessions of FM® byPtA. PtB re-evaluated all the subjects at the end of the study.
resultsResults of the INTERR analysis showed for SG: MV (ICC= 0.92, k= 72.7%); PV (ICC= 0.91, k= 75.7%). For CG : MV (ICC= 0.95, k= 84.2%); PV (ICC= 0.90, k= 75%). Results of the INTRAR analysis for SG reported: MV (ICC= 0.82, k= 74,8%); PV (ICC= 0.60, k= 46.8%); for CG: MV (ICC= 0.93, k= 78.7%); PV (ICC= 0.84, k= 53.3%). Statistical significance were reported in NRS (p = 0.001), MV (p = 0.0003) and PV (p < 0.0001) with better results for SG using "Intention To Treat" method. DISCUSSION: This study demonstrates that FM® assessment procedures have a high reliability even if applied by practitioners with basic experience. Furthermore FM® treatment can improve pain and ROM in individuals with primary coxarthrosis.
