The impact of core training combined with breathing exercises on individuals with chronic non-specific low back pain.
Trial report in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07438470 (Combined Effects of Mckenzie and Motor Control Exercises on Pain, Range of Motion, Muscle Endurance and Disability in Chronic Non-specific Low Back Pain), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
Background: Chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP) is a common condition, defined as pain lasting more than 3 months between the lower thoracic margin and gluteal folds, without identifiable tissue damage. Despite its low disability rate, the complex etiology and high recurrence impose significant health and socioeconomic burdens. According to European LBP guidelines, exercise therapy is the preferred treatment for CNLBP. This study evaluates the efficacy of core training combined with breathing exercises as a therapeutic intervention for CNLBP. Methods: Eighteen CNLBP patients were randomly assigned to three groups: core training only, core training with breathing exercises, and a control group. A 12-week intervention included VAS, ODI scores, and muscle strength tests. Results: The combined group showed significantly greater pain reduction, functional improvement, and muscle strength enhancement compared to the other groups. Conclusion: Core training with breathing exercises is more effective in alleviating CNLBP symptoms, highlighting the added value of integrating breathing exercises.
