Neck stabilization exercise and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization reduce pain intensity, forward head angle and muscle activity of employees with chronic non-specific neck pain: A retrospective study.
Article in Journal of experimental orthopaedics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07477145 (Effect of Body Mind Exercises and Specific Neck Exercises in Chronic Mechanical Neck Pain), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.

Abstract
Purpose: Previous investigations have associated weakness of neck muscles with a higher likelihood of developing neck pain. However, no previous investigation has examined the influence of neck stabilization exercise (NSE) and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) on pain intensity, forward head angle (FHA) and muscle activity. Methods: A total of 45 female employees with chronic non-specific neck pain (CNNP) underwent measurements of pain intensity, FHA and electrical activity of muscles in a slump posture, before and after either NSE or DNS. Results: After both stabilization exercise (SE) and DNS the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) ( Conclusion: Both DNS and SE exercises diminished pain intensity, forward head and muscle activity after 6 weeks in patients with CNSNP. Level of Evidence: Level I, randomized controlled trials with adequate statistical power.
