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.

Abstract

[Purpose] Forward head posture (FHP), swayback posture, and knee hyperextension are musculoskeletal conditions that can lead to pain, dysfunction, and reduced quality of life. Accurate assessment of these postural deviations is critical for prevention and treatment. This study aimed to assess the inter- and intra-examiner reliability of photogrammetry in evaluating the craniovertebral angle (CVA), swayback posture, and knee hyperextension in a sample of university students. [Participants and Methods] Thirty participants were evaluated by four physical therapists (PTs) on the same day, with each PT performing three repetitions of the measurements. One PT repeated the measurements on a subsequent day to determine the retest reliability. [Results] The results showed excellent reliability, with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) of 0.98 for both inter- and intra-examiner reliability. [Conclusion] Photogrammetry is a reliable noninvasive method for evaluating these postural deviations, making it suitable for use in clinical and research settings.
