Mobilization-Based Exercise Frequency and Dynamic Postural Control in Orchestra Musicians: An Exploratory Controlled Intervention Study.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 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/
objectivesOrchestra musicians are exposed to prolonged asymmetric postures and repetitive upper-quarter loading that may influence postural-control strategies. This exploratory controlled intervention study examined whether a four-week mobilization-based exercise program performed once or twice weekly was associated with changes in static sensory-dependent balance and dynamic voluntary weight-shifting control.
methodsTwenty-three university orchestra musicians (5 males, 18 females; mean age 24.57 ± 3.41 years) were allocated to a no-intervention control group (
resultsNo between-group differences were detected for any CTSIB outcome at any time point or for change scores. Although selected CTSIB variables changed within the control and EG2 groups, the absence of between-group differences indicates that these changes were not intervention-specific. For LOS outcomes, change-score comparisons were significant for Reaction Time (H = 9.076,
conclusionsIn this small exploratory study, twice-weekly mobilization was associated with faster LOS movement initiation, but the absolute and clinical importance of this change remains uncertain. CTSIB outcomes did not demonstrate an intervention-specific effect; therefore, the findings should be considered hypothesis-generating.
