The effects of different neck training methods on the neck function of aviation cadets.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
To compare the effects of different neck eccentric training devices on the neck strength and endurance of aviation cadets, and to explore their roles in the prevention of neck injuries, providing a basis for introducing specialized neck training in adolescent aviation schools. Two intervention groups used a helmet-style neck training device and elastic bands for neck training, respectively, while the control group underwent regular resistance physical training without additional neck intervention. Tests were conducted on neck flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation in six directions before the intervention, and after 6 and 12 weeks. Significant time and group interaction effects were found in all six directions of neck strength indicators (F-values were 4.834, 8.496, 10.359, 6.849, 3.324, 2.405, p<0.05). The neck strength in all six directions significantly increased for both intervention groups at 6 and 12 weeks (P<0.05). In the control group, a significant increase in strength was observed in all directions except for extension at 6 weeks (P<0.05), but no significant changes were observed after 6 weeks (P>0.05). A significant time and group interaction effect was also found for endurance indicators (F=6.204, P<0.01). All three groups showed a significant increase in neck endurance at 6 weeks, but no significant changes were observed in the elastic band group and the control group after 6 weeks (P>0.05); the helmet group showed significantly higher neck endurance at 12 weeks (103.55 ±47.68) seconds, (P<0.01). Both 12-week helmet-style neck training and elastic band neck training can enhance trainee neck strength and flexural endurance, with the helmet-style training showing a more significant improvement in neck endurance.
