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

A prospective observational study comparing shear wave elastography (SWE) of trapezius muscle with Neck Disability Index (NDI) in a prediction model of health status six months after a whiplash injury. Both SWE values, measured by two radiologists, and NDI scores were obtained at baseline and after physical therapy (PT) (6-month period). Those values were compared with a 3-point Likert scale (no, partial or full recovery). Twenty-two subjects completed the study. A decrease in trapezius stiffness was detected by both radiologists, statistically significant for one (Δ10.1 kPa;
