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

Forward head posture and altered scapular alignment are associated with musculoskeletal dysfunctions and impaired physical performance. However, the relationship between postural alignment indices and physiological function in young adults remains unexplored. A total of 54 healthy participants (mean age: 21.88 ± 2.06 years) were evaluated. Craniovertebral angle (CVA) and scapular index were measured as indicators of postural alignment. Upper trapezius muscle tone was assessed using the MyotonPRO device. Pulmonary function parameters, including the forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV
