The Effects of Corrective Exercises and Respiratory Biofeedback on the Kyphosis Angle and Electrical Activity of Trapezius Muscles in Male Adolescents With Kyphosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. 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 and Aims: Thoracic kyphosis is a prevalent postural abnormality among adolescents, which can impair musculoskeletal alignment and affect neuromuscular function. Despite the known benefits of corrective exercises, limited attention has been given to the role of respiratory biofeedback. This study aimed to investigate the effects of corrective exercises and respiratory biofeedback on the kyphosis angle and the electrical activity of the trapezius muscles in male adolescents with kyphosis. Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted on 45 male adolescents with postural kyphosis, randomly assigned into three groups: corrective exercises ( Results: Both the corrective exercise and respiratory biofeedback groups showed significant reductions in kyphosis angle and trapezius muscle activity after the intervention ( Conclusion: Eight weeks of corrective exercises or respiratory biofeedback training significantly improved spinal curvature and muscle activity of trapezius muscle in adolescents with kyphosis. These interventions are recommended as effective non-invasive approaches to address postural abnormalities in young populations.
