1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

objectiveThis study aimed to examine the effects of a remote video-based cervical stabilization exercise program on cervical proprioception, functional status, and disease-related quality of life in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

designPatients with RA were evaluated regarding cervical joint positioning error, cervical region functional status (Neck Disability Index), general functional status (Health Assessment Questionnaire), and disease-related quality of life (Rheumatoid Arthritis Quality of Life Scale). Patients were randomized to exercise (n = 14, 10 female) and control (n = 12, 9 female) groups. Patients in the exercise group performed a video-based home exercise program consisting of progressive cervical stabilization exercises three times a week for six weeks in addition to their routine medication. The patients in the control group continued their routine medication only. Evaluations were repeated in both groups in the seventh week following the baseline evaluation.

resultsGroups were similar at baseline (p > 0.05). Patients in both groups had low disease activity (DAS-28 CRP ≤ 3.2). The remote video-based exercise program led to significant improvements in cervical proprioception, functional status, and disease-related quality of life (p < 0.05). No significant changes were detected in any parameters in the control group (p > 0.05). Obtained changes were superior in the exercise group compared to the control group (d > 1.00, p < 0.05).

conclusionCervical stabilization exercises may increase cervical proprioception, improve functional status, and enhance disease-related quality of life in patients with RA when administered as a remote program. TRIAL NUMBER: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04948775 , NCT04948775.
