Effect of Pilates Intervention on the Physical Conditioning of a Ballet Dancer: A Single Case Study.
Article in Journal of chiropractic medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: The purpose of this case study was to report the effect of an 8-week Pilates intervention on a ballet dancer's strength, balance, and endurance. Clinical Features: A healthy 24-year-old ballet dancer (50 kg, 1.66 meters, 12 years of practice and who had no previous experience with Pilates) presented for care. She was evaluated before and after an 8-week Pilates exercise intervention. Intervention and Outcome: The isokinetic trunk flexion and extension, electromyographic activation of multifidus and internal oblique muscles, neuromuscular efficiency, trunk muscle endurance, and body balance were evaluated. After 8 weeks, we observed increased torque levels, neuromuscular efficiency and time spent in endurance tests and improved body balance. Conclusion: The ballet dancer in this study demonstrated increased strength, balance, and endurance after an 8-week Pilates intervention.
