The Effect of Tissue Stretching and Release Strategies on Neck Muscles Fatigue and Pain Intensity in Office Workers Affected by Chronic Neck Pain: A Rater-Blind, Semi-Experimental Study.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. 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
Background and Aims: Nonspecific chronic neck pain (ns-CNP) is a common cause of disability among office workers. However, the effectiveness of tissue release and stretching strategies in managing pain and fatigue of neck muscles in employees affected by ns-CNP has not been assessed. Methods: Thirty-nine employees who suffered from ns-CNP were randomly assigned to stretching, tissue release interventions or control group ( Results: Pain significantly decreased after 6 weeks of both interventions ( Conclusion: Only the stretching group showed a significant difference with the control in the left sternocleidomastoid at the 10th and 15th minutes, and the release group with the control in the last 5-min. Stretching and release interventions could control neck pain and muscle fatigue in the 45-degree head flexion position.
