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
Introduction Neck pain has a high lifetime prevalence and represents a significant health issue. Reduced active cervical range of motion (ACROM) has been found in neck pain patients. Inertial sensor technology can provide objective measurements to assess the impaired ACROM. Purpose Primarily, this study investigated the inter- and intra-rater reliability of the Moover® three-dimensional (3D) inertial motion sensor (Sensor Medica, Rome, Italy) in Greek patients with non-specific chronic neck pain. Secondly, the intra-rater reliability of the Neck Disability Index (NDI) was also assessed. Methods Fifty patients (18 males and 32 females) suffering from non-specific chronic neck pain participated in this study. Two physiotherapists measured separately each participant's ACROM in three planes, within a 48-hour period. The participants' position and the sequence and direction of the three cervical movements (cervical rotation, lateral flexion, and flexion-extension) were standardized. Results The inter-rater reliability intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) values were good to excellent ranging from 0.77 to 0.95 for the first measurement and 0.85 to 0.95 for the second (p < 0.001). The intra-rater reliability ICC values were moderate to excellent ranging from 0.74 to 0.92 for the first rater and good to excellent ranging from 0.83 to 0.94 for the secondrater (p < 0.001). Intra-rater reliability of the overall NDI was indicated as good, and ICC was 0.80 (95%CI: 0.65-0.89; p < 0.001). ICC values for all sections were significant and ranged from 0.40 to 0.88. Conclusion This study showed the reliability of the Moover 3D inertial sensor for ACROM measurement in Greek patients with chronic neck pain. The NDI scale also showed good intra-rater reliability in the same sample. Both intra- and inter-rater reliability of the Moover 3D were proven to be acceptable over a 48-hour period. The specific sensor might have a potential application in a clinical setting.
