The Future of Fascia-A Scoping Review on Emerging Research Trends and Recommended Sample Sizes and Effect Sizes in Fascia Studies.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The aim of this study was to identify future research trends in fascia-related investigations, as well as to develop new effect size thresholds for between-group differences, along with sample size calculations and statistical power estimations specific to fascial research. For the purposes of this study, the following databases were searched: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Two studies were included in the scoping review, and 31 meta-analyses were identified and used to calculate effect sizes and sample sizes. Future research on fascia will likely focus on its role in movement organisation and chronic pain, particularly in older adults. The advancement of modern imaging techniques and the integration of therapeutic approaches, such as manual therapy and movement-based interventions, may significantly impact the diagnosis and treatment of fascial dysfunctions. In future studies on fascia, effect sizes (Cohen's
