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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThis study investigates the therapeutic efficacy of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) technology paired with Kinesio Taping in patients with persistent nonspecific low back pain, as well as the effect on neuromuscular function and pain self-efficacy.

methodsA randomized controlled clinical study was conducted to collect clinical data on DNS combined with KT for the treatment of chronic nonspecific low back pain from November 2023 to April 2024. The inclusion criteria were patients with chronic nonspecific lower back pain, aged between 18 and 30 years old, and without serious underlying medical conditions, such as cardiac disease, hypertension, and diabetes. The control group received Kinesio Tape therapy, and the experimental group received a combination of Kinesio Tape therapy and DNS technology. The treatment lasted for 6 weeks, 3 times a week. Patients were examined before and after treatment using the Visual Analog Rating Scale, Oswestry Dysfunction Score, and Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire. Multifidus and transversus abdominis muscle strength was tested using surface electromyography signals, and the patient's joint mobility, maximal isometric muscle strength, and muscular endurance were tested using the Davy Spine Rehabilitation System. Internal lumbar and abdominal pressures were assessed using stabilizer pressure biofeedback.

resultsA total of 32 subjects (17 males and 15 females) were enrolled, of which 16 were in the experimental group and 16 in the control group. After the treatment, the patients in both groups showed significant improvements in the visual analogue scale, Oswestry disability index, Chinese version of Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ), joint mobility, maximum isometric strength, muscle endurance, abdominal pressure, transverse abdominal muscle and multifidus muscle scales compared with the pretreatment results. (Chinese version of Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire) scales were significantly improved compared with the pretreatment; joint mobility, maximal isometric muscle strength, muscular endurance, intra-abdominal pressure, transversus abdominis and multifidus AEMG (average electromyography) were more significantly improved, and the differences were statistically significant (P < .05). The experimental group showed more significant improvement than the control group (P < .05).

conclusionDNS technology paired with Kinesio Taping can considerably improve neuromuscular function and enhance pain self-efficacy in chronic nonspecific low back pain patients, reducing discomfort and improving dysfunction.
