Neuromuscular exercises on pain intensity, functional disability, proprioception, and balance of military personnel with chronic low back pain.
Article in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07492784 (Investigation of the Effect of a Virtual Reality-Based Back School Program on Pain, Functionality, and Kinesiophobia), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundDue to their occupational status, military personnel are a high-risk group for low back pain (LBP). PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of neuromuscular exercises on the severity of pain, functional disability, proprioception, and balance in military personnel with LBP.
methodsMilitary personnel with LBP were randomly assigned into two groups: intervention (n=15) and control (n=15). The intervention group performed 60 minutes of neuromuscular exercises three times per week for eight weeks while the control group continued their routine physical activities.
resultsThe mean post-intervention pain intensity, disability, and proprioception error significantly decreased in the intervention group. Whereas their mean post-interventions static and dynamic balance scores significantly increased.
conclusionsThe results indicate eight weeks of neuromuscular exercise decreased pain intensity and improved functional ability, static and dynamic balance, and proprioception among military staff suffering chronic low back pain.
