Feasibility and Acceptability of Craniosacral Therapy and Respiratory Training in Mothers of Children with Disabilities: Protocol for a Three-Arm Non-Randomized Controlled Pilot and Feasibility 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
introductionMothers of children with disabilities may experience substantial and prolonged psychophysical burden, which can negatively affect psychological well-being, health-related quality of life, and physical functioning. This study describes the protocol of a pilot and feasibility study evaluating the feasibility and acceptability of two distinct non-pharmacological interventions-craniosacral therapy (CST) and respiratory training (RT)-in mothers of children with disabilities. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This completed, retrospectively registered, three-arm, parallel-group, non-randomized controlled pilot and feasibility study enrolled 32 mothers, allocated by enrolment timing and project logistics to craniosacral therapy (CST; DISCUSSION: This pilot and feasibility study provides a structured framework for evaluating CST and RT in mothers of children with disabilities. The study is intended to inform methodological procedures, outcome selection, and the design of a future adequately powered randomized controlled trial rather than establish the clinical effectiveness or safety of either intervention.
