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

backgroundChronic Neck Pain is one of the main musculoskeletal problems in the general population that negatively affects the lives of patients. Its treatment can include various treatment methods, such as Pilates and Cognitive Functional Therapy. The purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of Pilates in relation to Cognitive Functional Therapy in people with Chronic Neck Pain.

methodsThis single-blind randomized controlled study included 60 patients with Chronic Neck Pain who were randomly divided into two groups (Group 1: Pilates, Group 2: Cognitive Functional Therapy). All patients will undergo 16 sessions over 8 weeks. Outcome measures (pain, disability, fear perception, functionality, quality of life, cervical range of motion, and neck muscle isometric strength) will be evaluated at baseline, at the end of the treatment (week 8) and three months after randomization (week 12). Outcome measures will be analyzed DISCUSSION: This is the first Randomized Controlled Trial to compare the effectiveness of Pilates and Cognitive Functional Therapy in patients with chronic neck pain. The results of this research will provide information on the effectiveness of each intervention separately and whether one of the two can outperform the other.
