Demonstration of central conduction time and neuroplastic changes after cervical lordosis rehabilitation in asymptomatic subjects: a randomized, placebo-controlled trial.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05391997 (Comparative Effects of Cervical Extension Traction Exercises With and Without Modified Cervical and Shoulder Retraction Exercises on Pain, Disability and Cobb's Angle in Patients With Non-specific Neck Pain), which is not on this map.

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
A randomized controlled study was conducted to evaluate the effect of rehabilitation of the cervical sagittal configuration on sensorimotor integration and central conduction time in an asymptomatic population. Eighty (32 female) participants with radiographic cervical hypolordosis and anterior head translation posture were randomly assigned to either a control or an experimental group. The experimental group received the Denneroll cervical traction while the control group received a placebo treatment. Interventions were applied 3 × per week for 10 weeks. Outcome measures included radiographic measured anterior head translation distance, cervical lordosis (posterior bodies of C2-C7), central somatosensory conduction time (latency) (N13-N20), and amplitudes of potentials for spinal N13, brainstem P14, parietal N20 and P27, and frontal N30. Outcomes were obtained at: baseline, after 10 weeks of intervention, and at 3 months follow up. After 10 weeks and 3-months, between-group analyses revealed statistically significant differences between the groups for the following measured variables: lordosis C2-C7, anterior head translation, amplitudes of spinal N13, brainstem P14, parietal N20 and P27, frontal N30 potentials (P < 0.001), and conduction time N13-N20 (P = 0.004). Significant correlation between the sagittal alignment and measured variables were found (P < 0.005). These findings indicate restoration of cervical sagittal alignment has a direct influence on the central conduction time in an asymptomatic population.
