Short-Term Therapeutic Benefits of Foam Rolling for Clinical Outcomes in Chronic Nonspecific Neck Pain Patients: A Randomized Single-blind Trial.
Article in Journal of chiropractic medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the short-term effects of foam rolling (FR) on the clinical parameters of individuals with chronic nonspecific neck pain (CNNP). Methods: Fifty-eight CNNP participants were randomly equally allocated into FR and Swedish massage (SM) groups for 2 weeks. Resting pain intensity (RPI), pain pressure threshold (PPT), neck disability index (NDI), neck range of motion (NROM), and global perceived effect (GPE) were measured at baseline, immediately after the first intervention session, at the 2-week intervention visit, and at the 1-week follow-up visit. Results: There were no significant differences between the FR and SM groups in RPI and patient satisfaction ( Conclusion: Two weeks of FR treatment reduced resting neck pain, improved NROM and neck disability, and increased patient satisfaction with short-term recovery among young adults with CNNP. Because FR was as effective as massage, people with CNNP may benefit from home-based self-treatments if they are educated by therapists on how to practice FR themselves.
