Effect of Multicomponent Exercise Program on Pain and Functional Mobility in Antitubercular Drug Therapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Pulmonary Tuberculosis Survivors.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesExercise therapy is a pivotal component in the multidisciplinary approach to managing tuberculosis (TB)-related peripheral neuropathy (PN). A personalized exercise protocol maximizes therapeutic benefits while minimizing the risk of symptom exacerbation. This study aimed to determine the effect of multicomponent exercise programs on pain and functional mobility in antitubercular drug therapy-induced PN in pulmonary TB survivors.
methodsIn the approved experimental study, 110 participants with antitubercular study drug-induced PN were randomly assigned to two groups, and data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 26 (Released 2019; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States). The study's purpose was to evaluate the efficacy of a multicomponent exercise program on PN symptoms.
resultsThe study assessed a multicomponent exercise regimen's effectiveness in individuals with TB-related PN. The experiment group demonstrated noteworthy pain reduction (p < 0.0001), improvement in neurological symptoms (p < 0.0001), and better functional outcomes in the 12-minute walk test (p < 0.0001) and sit-and-reach test (p < 0.0001). Conversely, the control group exhibited less significant improvements. The low p-values indicate the intervention's effectiveness, emphasizing its impact on pain reduction, neurological symptoms, and functional abilities in comparing the experimental and control groups.
conclusionThe study demonstrated the significant effectiveness of an eight-week multicomponent exercise program in individuals with pulmonary TB-related PN, showcasing notable improvements in pain reduction and functional mobility compared to a conventional single-component regimen in the control group.
