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

Eye reflexes that stabilize gaze are essential in navigating daily life. One such reflex is the cervico-ocular reflex (COR). An important neural structure involved in the COR is the cerebellum, which facilitates proper gaze stability through sensorimotor integration to adjust eye movements accordingly. This reflex is tested by fixating the head in space and rotating the body around the neck. Thus, a rotating chair is needed to elicit proper cervical rotation while keeping the head fixed. The chair that was developed for this project was able to rotate to the specified amplitude (±0.5º of accuracy) and frequency. The parameters of the rotation amount, frequency, and amplitude can be adjusted as desired by the project guidelines. Our project aimed to improve upon existing chair models and develop a chair that can be used to assess the COR in neck pain populations.
