Postural alignment in static and dynamic conditions in adults with and without forward head posture.
Article in Turkish journal of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 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
Objectives: This study aims to compare the spinal alignment in static and dynamic postures between adults with and without forward head posture (FHP). Patients and methods: Between June 2024 and December 2024 a total of 28 participants were included in the study and divided into two groups: the FHP group (7 males, 7 females; mean age: 24.29 years; range, 20 to 31 years) and the without FHP group (8 males, 6 females; mean age: 23.36; range, 21 to 31 years). To assess FHP, the craniovertebral angle was measured using the MB-ruler software. Spinal alignment was evaluated with a three-dimensional spinal structural analysis system, which provided measures of thoracic kyphotic angle, lumbar lordotic angle, sagittal imbalance, and coronal imbalance in standing posture and during walking at speeds of 3, 5, and 6 km/h. Results: In static posture, participants with FHP demonstrated significantly greater thoracic kyphotic angle and coronal imbalance compared to those without FHP. During dynamic conditions, the sagittal imbalance at a walking speed of 3 km/h was significantly higher in the FHP group. Conclusion: The characteristics of spinal alignment in both standing and walking should be taken into account when evaluating and managing adults with FHP.
