A Review on Treatment Approaches for Chronic Low Back Pain via Mulligans Movement With Mobilization and Physical Therapy.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06049277 (Effects of Mulligan Technique Versus McKenzie Extension Exercise With Manual Traction in Patients With Chronic Unilateral Radicular Low Back Pain), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Low back pain is a leading cause of functional disability. Low back pain is a problem that every one of all age groups faces and there are various methods used to correct low back pain. Manual therapy is a specialized area in physiotherapy which manages neuromuscular pain. Manual therapy techniques include the Maitland mobilization technique, Kaltenborn mobilization technique, Mulligan technique, Active release technique, and many more. Manual therapy mainly works on arthrokinematics and osteokinematics of the joint. It is one of the main strategies used to manage low back pain. Low back pain can be because by spinal dysfunction, Sacroiliac dysfunction, muscle pathology, or any ligamentous strain. The cause of the low back pain should be identified and treated accordingly. Articles using keywords - chronic low back pain, Mulligan, and non-specific low back pain were searched on the database of Pubmed and Scopus a total of 30 articles from the timeframe of 2011 to 2021 were included in the study. From this review, we can conclude that Mulligan mobilization with movement is an effective way to reduce low back pain. Further studies need to be conducted to check the effectiveness of manual therapy techniques in chronic low back pain.
