Effects of Chinese cervical fixed-point rotation manipulation on heart rate variability in patients with sympathetic cervical spondylosis based on the theory of biomechanical equilibrium: a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 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
Background: As a complex cervical spondylosis with symptoms involving multiple systems and organs, SCS is easily misdiagnosed and underdiagnosed, and there is a lack of uniform efficacy assessment criteria for SCS, which causes great distress to patients and society. In this study, we will assesse the efficacy of cervical fixed-point rotational manipulation by combining HRV-related parameters and analyzing the correlation between the HRV and SCS. Methods/design: In this study, 90 participants will be randomly assigned at a 1:1:1 ratio into a test group (cervical fixed-point rotational manipulation manipulation group), a control group (sham manipulation group), or a Western medicine control group, with 30 participants in each group. All participants will be treated for a period of 4 weeks. The primary outcome indicators assessed is the HRV-related parameters, and the secondary outcome indicators are the NDI scale, NPQ scale, and HAMA scale. The assessment time points will be before and after treatment. The follow-up visits will be the first and sixth months after the end of treatment. Discussion: In this study, SCS are treated with cervical fixed-point rotational manipulation based on the biomechanical balance theory, and HRV-related parameters are used for assessment to analyze the effect of cervical fixed-point rotational manipulation on heart rate variability in patients with SCS.
