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
[Purpose] The magnitude, validity, and reliability of dynamometer measures of neck retraction strength have been reported but not for individuals referred with neck complaints to physical therapy. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to describe neck retraction strength and its responsiveness and validity as a correlate of neck pain and disability among patients referred for physical therapy. [Participant and Methods] Twenty-six consecutive patients referred with neck pain participated. Their neck retraction strength was measured with a handheld dynamometer using a standardized procedure. Neck pain and disability were quantified using a numeric pain rating scale and the Neck Disability Index, respectively. [Results] Measurements of neck retraction strength increased significantly over the episode of care from 76.5 N to 119.5 N (standardized response mean=1.57 N). The correlation of retraction strength with neck pain was significant (r
