Postural and cervical proprioceptive implications in adult humans with ankyloglossia: an observational study.
Observational study in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2025.

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
purposeTo evaluate how tongue tie could impact on neck performance and posturographic testing as well as on subjective consequences on dizziness and jaw functionality, when comparing adult participants with different degrees of ankyloglossia (ANK) according to Kotlow classification with a group of healthy subjects, serving as control group (CG).
methodsANK and CG participants have been studied by means of quantitative tongue evaluations (including Mouth Opening with Tongue Tip to incisive papilla, MOTTIP, and Maximal Intercisal Mouth Opening, MIO), posturography testing, cervical range of motion (CROM), cervical relocation tests (CRT) and subjective testing (Dizziness Handicap Inventory, DHI, and Jaw Functional Limitations Scale 20, JFLS-20).
results96 ANK participants demontrated to have significant (p < 0.01) higher values in length and in area parameters when compared with 98 CG participants. A significant increase in power spectra values was found within the middle-/high-frequency interval ANK when compared to CG. ANK participants demonstrated significant reduced cervical spine mobility and higher values in all CRT positions as well as significant higher values along DHI and JFLS-20 sub-item and total score. Multiple significant (p < 0.05) correlations were found in ANK participants between tongue measures, cervical mobility, postural parameters and subjective testing.
conclusionThe present study for the first time demonstrated that the tongue tie may actively partecipate in postural derangement possibly mediated by a wide span of anatomical and functional sequelae in the cervical spine, with consequences not only at jaw functional limitations but also at perceived dizziness level.
