Effects of Adding Whole-Body Vibration to Routine Exercise Therapy on Pain, Disability, Muscle Strength, and Endurance in Individuals With Chronic Nonspecific Neck Pain: 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 Objective: Chronic nonspecific neck pain (CNNP) is highly prevalent, and exercise therapy is regarded as an effective intervention. Whole-body vibration (WBV) may enhance neuromuscular activation and potentially improve muscle strength and endurance; however, evidence on its application in individuals with neck pain remains limited. This study aimed to compare the additive effects of WBV combined with exercise therapy versus exercise therapy alone on pain, disability, cervical muscle strength, and endurance in individuals with CNNP. Materials and Methods: In this single-blinded randomized clinical trial, 24 participants aged 25-50 years with CNNP were randomly assigned to the experimental group (6-week home-based routine exercise therapy + WBV) or the control group (6-week home-based routine exercise therapy alone) ( Results: Both groups demonstrated significant within-group improvements in pain, disability, and cervical muscle performance over the 6-week intervention period ( Conclusion: Adding WBV to routine exercise therapy may provide short-term additional benefits in pain, disability, and cervical flexor performance in individuals with CNNP. However, these preliminary findings should be interpreted cautiously due to the small sample size, absence of follow-up assessment, and supervision differences between groups.
