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: Recently, the oscillatory bar has been proposed as a new and effective rehabilitation tool in people with nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP), although its effects on muscular control in this population have not been well documented, especially in lower extremity muscles and different support surface conditions. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effects of flexi-bar use on stable and unstable surfaces on electromyographic activity of trunk and lower extremity muscles in healthy persons and those with NSLBP. Material and Methods: 18 healthy men and 18 men with NSLBP participated in this cross-sectional study. The root mean square value of electromyographic activity was calculated in the trunk and lower extremity muscles during 4 different task conditions: quiet standing (QS) or flexi-bar use on a rigid or foam support surface. A repeated measures test was used for statistical analysis. Results: The results showed that the amplitude activity of almost all muscles was significantly greater during flexi-bar use than in the QS condition ( Conclusion: This study showed that oscillatory forces caused by flexi-bar use can increase muscle activation in multiple segments (hip and ankle in addition to trunk muscles) that are crucial for postural stability. Furthermore, the foam surface appeared to target the rectus femoris in addition to the ankle muscles. Using a flexi-bar may be helpful in NSLBP rehabilitation, and exercising on a foam surface may enhance additive hip muscle activity in people with NSLBP.
