Multimodal intervention based on physical exercise, mindfulness, behaviour change and education to improve pain and health in patients with chronic primary low back pain: a study protocol of the HEALTHYBACK randomised controlled trial.
Article in BMJ open sport & exercise medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued.

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.

Abstract
The HEALTHYBACK trial is based on a multimodal intervention to determine the effectiveness of a supervised physical exercise, mindfulness, behaviour change and pain neuroscience education programme on several health variables in individuals with chronic primary low back pain (CPLBP). The study will be a randomised controlled trial among 70 individuals diagnosed with CPLBP (aged 18-65 years). The intervention will be conducted in person within a hospital setting for 16 weeks and comprises a first phase (16 sessions supervised physical exercise (2 days/week, 45 min/session), mindfulness (1 day/week, 2.5 hours/session), behaviour change (daily/24 hours via a wrist-worn activity prompting device) and pain neuroscience education (1 day/biweekly, 2 hours/session)) and a second phase (16 sessions functional full-body muscle strengthening exercise, 3 days/week, 50 min/session). The primary outcomes will include perceived acute pain, pain pressure threshold, conditioned pain modulation, temporal summation of pain and disability due to pain. Secondary measures will include physical fitness, body composition, gait parameters, device-measured physical activity and sedentary behaviour, haematological profile, self-reported sedentary behaviour, quality of life, pain catastrophising, mental health, sleep duration and quality, and symptoms related to central sensitisation. The groups will undergo pretest (before the intervention), post-test (after each phase of the intervention) and retest (at a 6-week detraining period after the intervention) measurements. The results will determine the effectiveness of multidimensional interventions on several health parameters in individuals with CPLBP. They will provide knowledge for pain management and functioning in affected individuals, which might diminish the need for primary healthcare services. Trial registration number: NCT06114264.
