Influence of chair seat forward tilt angle on upper limb dexterity improvement in seated tasks: a pilot study.
Review in Journal of physical therapy science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
[Purpose] This study aimed to investigate the influence of seat-forward tilt angles on improving upper limb dexterity in seated tasks and to contribute to the development of seating strategies. [Participants and Methods] Seventeen healthy men (age, 20.0 ± 0.5 years; height, 175.1 ± 4.9 cm; and body weight, 63.8 ± 6.7 kg) participated in this study. The forward tilt angles of the seat were set at 0°, 15°, and 30°, with knee pads used in all conditions. The Purdue Pegboard task was used to assess upper limb dexterity, with participants inserting pins into holes in the board for 60 s. Additionally, a visual analog scale was used to evaluate the perceived ease of the task. [Results] The Purdue Pegboard task scores were 30.0 ± 2.5, 30.6 ± 2.7, and 32.5 ± 2.9 for the 0°, 15°, and 30° conditions, respectively. The visual analog scale scores were 75.3 ± 9.8, 76.4 ± 14.6, and 84.1 ± 11.1 for the 0°, 15°, and 30° conditions, respectively. Both measurements showed significantly higher values under the 30° condition than under the other two conditions. [Conclusion] These results suggest that a tilt angle of 30° provides the most significant ease and upper limb dexterity.
