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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundNeck pain is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder that can cause other additional misalignments and other misalignment-induced chronic musculoskeletal diseases. Although numerous risk factors for chronic neck pain have been researched, systemic symptoms have not received the same level of investigation. The aim of this study was to analyze the link between subjective systemic symptoms and neck pain based on initial holistic interviews, with the objective of identifying potential predictive factors for neck pain.

methodsThis retrospective cross-sectional study included patients hospitalized due to acute neck pain between January 2018 and August 2021. Data collected included demographic information, treatment details, neck-pain characteristics, medical history, and co-occurring symptoms regardless of their known association with neck pain. Statistical analyses, including independent

resultsWith regard to the demographic characteristics, a significant positive correlation was observed between age and initial pain intensity (

conclusionsThis study identified several potential predictors of neck pain-notably, upper GI disturbances-providing a new avenue to investigate the prognostic factors of neck pain. However, further study is needed to substantiate these findings and elucidate the precise nature of these associations.
