Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique Versus Mulligan Mobilization on Functional Disability in Subjects With Nonspecific Low Back Pain: A Comparative Study.
Article 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 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis 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.

Abstract
Background Pain lasting more than three months is termed chronic pain. Treating chronic pain is always a challenge for the therapist. Low back pain (LBP) with a high prevalence is a point of concern. Various treatment methods are available. The two treatment methods are integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique (INIT) and Mulligan mobilization with movement (MWM). In this study, we have compared INIT with MWM. Method It was an interventional study carried out at Ravi Nair Physiotherapy College and Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital. A total of 80 participants with nonspecific LBP were included in the study. The participants were randomly divided into two groups and treated for two weeks with three weekly sessions. Statistical analysis and result Statistical analysis was done post the completion of sampling. Paired and unpaired t-tests were used. A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant. The result was obtained after comparing the pre- and post-values of the numerical pain rating scale (NPRS), modified Oswestry disability index (MODI), and range of motion (ROM) of the lumbar joint. After two weeks of treatment, a reduction in functional disability and pain was seen in the INIT and MWM groups. ROM was increased after two weeks of treatment in both INIT and MWM groups. When compared, INIT showed better results than MWM. Conclusion In conclusion, we saw that the integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique might be a better technique than Mulligan mobilization with movement in terms of reducing pain and functional disability.
