Integrative medicine for musculoskeletal pains - A proposed model based on clinical experience.
Review in Journal of Ayurveda and integrative medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
With an increasing number of chronic diseases and related disabilities, modern medicine is falling short of offering definitive, cost-effective, long-term solutions. As we realize contemporary medicine's limitations and side effects, we are gravitating towards whole-person care. Taking learnings from integrative medicine treatment of musculoskeletal pains, I comprehended that a paradigm shift is needed in thinking about etiopathogenesis and diagnosing disease. Different healing possibilities can be identified in humans if we shift our focus from reductionist science to whole-person care. Each health condition is an outcome of disturbed homeostasis involving multiple body systems. Based on homeostatic balancing principles and clinical experience, five interrelated and interdependent pathways are discussed. Based on these pathways, a working model of integrative medicine is presented. It can act as a template for medical practitioners to start integrative medicine practice for the benefit of patients. To make integrative medicine mainstream, there is a need to standardize care, frame regulations, train and educate the practitioners. At the same, it shall be put to rigorous scientific experimentation, research, and scrutiny.
