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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveWe aimed to quantify the mechanical pressure required to reach the deep cervical and thoracolumbar fasciae, to examine its association with pressure pain threshold (PPT) and adipose tissue thickness, and to determine whether PPT and adipose tissue thickness can predict the mechanical pressure needed to reach the fascia.

methodsForty-three subjects' PPT, mechanical pressure and skinfold in the trapezius and lumbar regions were evaluated using an algometer, an ultrasound scanner, and an adipometer. The Wilcoxon test, Student's

resultsThe values of mechanical pressure in the cervical and lumbar regions were 6.06 ± 0.186 N/cm

conclusionsThe mechanical pressure required to reach the deep cervical and thoracolumbar fasciae was similar with an average value of approximately 6 N/cm
