Measurement Issue in Antecollis.
Article in Tremor and other hyperkinetic movements (New York, N.Y.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Antecollis is defined as an involuntary forward flexion of the neck. Previous reports have measured the neck flexion angles based on the line perpendicular to the ground. This led to an inflation of the neck flexion angles in patients who had combined forward truncal flexions, especially upper camptocormia. Methods: We examined the neck flexion angles and the upper camptocormia angle in the published photographs of antecollis. MEDLINE search was conducted using the following search terms: Results: Nine patient photographs were identified. While antecollis was the only described postural abnormality in eight cases, these patients exhibited upper camptocormia angles of 45° or larger. The mean neck flexion angle measured with the antecollis method was 49.7°, while the perpendicular method yielded 103.4°. Discussion: Upper camptocormia should be considered in the evaluation of antecollis. We propose a new method to measure neck flexion in relation to the torso, instead of the vertical line.
