Trial report in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06664437 (Efficacy of Adding Neural Mobilization to Joint Mobilization in Patients With Adhesive Capsulitis), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers.

1 · What the graph read from 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

backgroundBreast surgery, Axillary Lymph Node Dissection (ALND), radiation and chemotherapy may develop several complications such as axillary web syndrome, frozen shoulder, numbness, shoulder pain and range of motion restriction, lymphostasis, and lymphedema. Up to 77% report sensory disturbance in the breast or arm after breast surgery. These short- and long-term consequences have dramatic impact on physical function and quality of life in this population.

aimsThe aim of the study was to determine the effect of neural tissue mobilization on sensory-motor impairments in breast cancer survivors with lymphedema. SUBJECTS AND

methodsThis study was carried out by analyzing total 100 breast cancer survivor women, with lymphedema aged between 30-65 years of age who had undergone breast surgery mostly lumpectomy along with chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Participants were divided into two groups by random allocation. One group underwent neurodynamic mobilization and the other group conventional physiotherapy.The treatment protocol was given for 6 weeks. Parameters such ROM, pain, lymphedema and sensory-motor impairments were assessed at the baseline before the treatment and 6 weeks after the treatment.

resultThe result from this study shows that there is significant improvement (p<0.0001, t-value 4.69) in mTNS of patients undergoing neural tissue mobilization,whereas there was no significant improvement (p=0.05, t-value 1.951) seen in patients undergoing conventional physiotherapy.

conclusionThis study concludes that effect of neural tissue mobilization has significant impact on sensory motor impairments as compared to conventional treatment protocol in breast cancer survivors with lymphedema.Pain and ROM showed similar difference with both the treatment protocols. It was also observed that patients with mild and moderate lymphedema showed significant improvement as compared to patients with severe lymphedema.
