Cervical Range of Motion Assessment through Inertial Technology: A Validity and Reliability Study.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
Inertial technology has spread widely for its comfortable use and adaptability to various motor tasks. The main objective of this study was to assess the validity of inertial measurements of the cervical spine range of motion (CROM) when compared to that of the optoelectronic system in a group of healthy individuals. A further aim of this study was to determine the optimal placement of the inertial sensor in terms of reliability of the measure, comparing measurements obtained from the same device placed at the second cervical vertebra (C2), the forehead (F) and the external occipital protuberance (EOP). Twenty healthy subjects were recruited and asked to perform flexion-extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation movements of the head. Outcome measurements of interest were CROM and mean angular velocities for each cervical movement. Results showed that inertial measurements have good reliability (0.75 < ICC < 0.9). Excellent reliability (ICC > 0.9) was found in both flexion and right lateral bending angles. All parameters extracted with EOP placement showed ICC > 0.62, while ICC < 0.5 was found in lateral bending mean angular velocities both for F and C2 placements. Therefore, the optimal sensor's positioning emerged to be EOP. These results suggest that inertial technology could be useful and reliable for the evaluation of the CROM.
