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
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the feasibility of the home-based kyphosis-specific exercises among Chinese older adults with different exercise habits and explore its potential effects on reducing the kyphosis angle and improving physical performance. Methods: A single-group, pre-and post-test design was conducted according to CONSORT 2010 statement: extension for pilot and feasibility trials. A total of 20 participants aged ≥60 with thoracic hyperkyphosis and rehabilitation potential were recruited from four local communities in Wuhan, China. Participants underwent a six-week home-based kyphosis-specific exercises intervention that included warm-up, muscle strengthens, spinal alignment, spinal mobility and flexibility, and cool down five sections (22 exercises). The intervention involved seven 1-h group classes and 35 times daily home practice with identical content. At pre- and post-intervention, the participants' kyphosis angle in two standing postures, static balance, dynamic balance, cardiopulmonary function, dynamic gait assessment, pain, and self-image were assessed and compared. Feasibility was assessed by group class attendance, home practice adherence, and participant evaluations. Results: All participants completed group classes and >75% home practice. Post-intervention, the participant's kyphosis angle in relaxed and best-standing postures was changed by -12.0° (-15.5°, -4.0°) ( Conclusions: Home-based kyphosis-specific exercises showed the possibility of being a feasible intervention. And it was advantageous to reducing the kyphosis angle and improving physical performance.
