Modern Methods for Postural Correction: The Impact of Kinesio Taping and Corrective Exercises on Dentists-A Quasi-Experimental Study.

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: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a combination of comprehensive corrective exercises and Kifnesio taping on postural abnormalities in dentists with forward head postures, as a group with a high risk of musculoskeletal disorders caused by incorrect working postures. Methods: This quasi-experimental study employed a pre-test-posttest control group design. The participants were dentists from Rasht, Iran, with more than 5 years of professional experience. Thirty dentists with forward head posture (FHP) (angle > 46°) volunteered to participate in this study and were randomly divided into two experimental and control groups ( Results: The results indicated significant differences in the dentists' FHP ( Conclusions: In conclusion, dentists' postural alignment significantly improved when a comprehensive corrective exercise was implemented together with concurrent KT of the thoracic and scapular regions. Specifically, there were clear improvements in thoracic kyphosis, forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and scapular alignment, indicating that the intervention was successful in correcting typical musculoskeletal abnormalities in this population.
