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

Neck pain (NP) is a leading cause of disability and can be a consequence of failed cervical spine surgeries. Articles showing successful conservative therapies after a failed surgery in the cervical spine are very rare. A 26-year-old male reported six years of worsening and disabling NP. The short-form 36-question health status questionnaire revealed a decrease in quality-of-life scores, with a physical component score (PCS) of 25.2 and a mental component score (MCS) of 29.9, compared to the normal scores of 46.8 and 52.8, respectively. Grip strength measured 36.7 kg on the left and 37.1 kg on the right (normal range: 45-52 kg). Radiography revealed cervical hypolordosis (absolute rotation angle, ARA, C2-C7) and anterior head translation (T
