Effect of Neural Mobilization Exercises in Patients With Low Back-Related Leg Pain With Peripheral Nerve Sensitization: A Prospective, Controlled Trial.
Article in Journal of chiropractic medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07515144 (Effect of Lower Limb Neural Mobilization on Selective Neuromuscular Variables and Calf Muscle Thickness in Elderly Population With Sarcopenia), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the short-term effect of slider and tensioner exercises on pain and range of motion (ROM) of straight leg raise (SLR) and slump tests in patients with low back-related leg pain with peripheral nerve sensitization.
methodsIn this prospective, controlled trial, 51 patients with low back-related leg pain with peripheral nerve sensitization were divided into 3 treatment groups: slider (slider neural mobilization exercise + transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation [TENS]), tensioner (tensioner neural mobilization exercise + TENS), and control (only TENS). Each patient received 6 sessions over 2 weeks. The following outcomes were measured at baseline and after the first, third, and sixth sessions: visual analog scale (VAS) for pain and ROM of SLR and slump tests were performed for the symptomatic side.
resultsCompared with controls, patients receiving the slider and tensioner exercises showed a greater decrease in pain at the third and sixth sessions (mean difference: ≥1.54 cm; 95% CI, 0.1-3.9). There was a significant difference in the ROM of the SLR test between the slider and controls at only the sixth session (mean difference: 16.7°; 95% CI, -29.2 to -4.3). Patients in the slider and tensioner groups demonstrated greater improvements in the ROM of slump test at all sessions compared with controls (mean difference: ≥12.5°; 95% CI, -32.1 to -6.4). There were no significant differences between the slider and tensioner groups in any outcome at any session.
conclusionPatients in both slider and tensioner neural mobilization exercise groups demonstrated improvements in pain and ROM in patients with low back-related leg pain with peripheral nerve sensitization compared to those in the control group.
