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
Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of exercise therapy combined with traditional Chinese tuina manipulation in the treatment of congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) in infants. Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 70 infants with CMT were randomly assigned to receive either exercise therapy combined with traditional Chinese tuina manipulation (combined group, Results: Both groups showed improvements in structural and functional outcomes after treatment. After adjustment, the combined group demonstrated a significantly lower post-treatment SCM thickness ratio than the control group (adjusted mean difference, 0.441; 95% CI, 0.287 to 0.595; Conclusion: Exercise therapy combined with traditional Chinese tuina manipulation was associated with improvements in muscle structure and cervical function in infants with CMT, leading to enhanced clinical efficacy and demonstrating promising potential clinical utility.
