The short-term effects of spiral stabilization on human posture correction.
Article in BMC sports science, medicine & rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundChanges in human posture directly impact the structures of various body parts, often leading to musculoskeletal disorders. While identifying suitable treatments for pain associated with long-term postural abnormalities is important, preventing such conditions is demonstrably a superior solution. Spiral stabilization, known for its practical application, has proven effective in treating low back pain. However, its efficacy in correcting human posture warrants further validation.
methodsA total of 71 participants with abnormal body posture, with a mean age of 33.68 ± 6.78 years, were included in this research. The participants underwent spiral stabilization practice for one hour daily for four days. The posture-related angles and deviations from the anterior and lateral views were calculated by the Exbody musculoskeletal analysis system.
resultsThere are statistically significant improvements in most posture-related angles and deviations after the intervention of the spiral stabilization technique compared to before the intervention (P < 0.05).
conclusionThe findings of this study suggest that the spiral stabilization technique is a potential intervention for improving human posture. It may become an effective fitness exercise that is widely adopted in daily life to prevent postural abnormalities.
