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: Neck and/or shoulder pain (NSP) is widely reported among school-aged children, with documented detrimental effects on their physical health and psychological status. This study aims to identify the prevalence and associated factors of NSP among primary school children in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, China. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 362 primary school children aged 10-12 years from Shijiazhuang city, northern China, were recruited using a multistage cluster random sampling method. Participants completed the fundamental motor skills test and questionnaires assessing socio-demographics, physical activity, psychological distress, quality of life, and NSP. Data were analyzed using univariable and multivariable logistic regression. Results: The one-month prevalence of NSP was 33.7%. Multivariable logistic regression showed that female students had a significantly higher odds of NSP compared with males [adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.61, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01-2.56, Conclusion: NSP is prevalent among Chinese children. Moderate-intensity physical activity, quality of life, and psychological status were associated with NSP. These findings highlight the importance of implementing early interventions that promote physical activity and psychological well-being to mitigate NSP in children.
