Spinal Posture, Mobility, and Muscle Endurance in Women With Tension-Type Headache: A Case-Control Study.
Article in Pain research & management, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Tension-type headache (TTH), a prevalent form of primary headache, has been linked to alterations in spinal biomechanics. Objective: This study aimed to compare spinal posture, mobility, and muscle endurance between women with and without TTH. Methods: This case-control study included 68 women aged 18-55 years with ( Results: Cervical flexion (95% CI: -1.38 to -0.40, Conclusion: Cervical mobility was less and cervical muscle endurance was lower in women with TTH, but their cervical postures were similar. It was also observed that thoracic angle was higher in sagittal plane and trunk muscle endurance was lower.
