Clinical efficacy of breathing training combined with core stability training in chronic nonspecific low back pain.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 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.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: The study aimed to assess the clinical efficacy of breathing training combined with core stability training in chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNLBP). Methods: This was a retrospective study. Of 60 included patients with CNLBP admitted by the Sichuan Province Orthopedic Hospital between December 2020 and February 2022. Random number table method was used to divide thirty patients to a control group, and the rest 30 to an observation group. The control group received core stability training, while the observation group underwent breathing training in addition to the exact treatment provided for the control group. To assess the utility of breathing and core stability training for CNLBP treatment, intergroup comparisons were made for clinical outcomes, the VAS, SF- 36, and SCODI scores before treatment and at three and seven weeks post-treatment, and static and dynamic low-back muscular endurance before and after treatment. Results: The observation group had an overall response rate (ORR) of 96.67%, significantly higher than that (73.33%) of the control group ( Conclusion: Compared with core stability training as a sole treatment, breathing training combined with core stability training can yield better outcomes, ameliorate lumbar spine function, relieve pain and enhance low-back muscular endurance in patients with CNLBP.
