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

backgroundAmong all types of cervical spondylitis, cervical spondylitis radiculopathy (CSR) has the highest incidence. The incidence of CSR increases year by year and is generally younger, which has seriously threatened people's quality of life and affected their work and life. This study proposes to improve the recovery rate of patients with CSR, delay the recurrence, improve the symptoms of patients, and improve the quality of life of patients through the rehabilitation and exercise of five-step cervical vertebra exercises.

methodsFor 90 patients with CSR that met the inclusion criteria, SPSS 23.0 software random number generator was used to randomly divide the patients into an experimental group and control group, with 45 cases in each group. The control group took basic nursing measures, and the experimental group took five steps of cervical vertebra rehabilitation exercises on the basis of elementary nursing measures. The rehabilitation effect of five-step exercises on CSR patients was evaluated by Neck Disability Index (NDI), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and Cervical range of motion measured (CROM) before and after intervention.

resultsThe results of this trial will be published on the website of China Clinical Trial Registration Center (http://www.chictr.org.cn/searchproj.aspx) and in peer-reviewed journals or academic conferences.

conclusionsThis study will examine the feasibility and preliminary effects of five-step exercises for the treatment of patients with CSR.

trial registrationThis protocol was registered in Clinical Trials platform with the number ChiCTR1900027299.
