Effectiveness of Shacklock's Neural Mobilization for Acute and Sub-Acute Lumbar Disc Prolapsed: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07384832 (Comparative Effectiveness of Dynamic Stretching Versus Slider Neurodynamic Technique In Patients With Lumbar Radiculopathy), which is not on this map.

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 and Aims: Lumbar disc prolapse (LDP) is a more severe health issue worldwide. Shacklock's neural mobilization is a useful technique for treating prolapsed discs. The study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Shacklock's neural mobilization for acute and subacute LDP. Methods: The study was a double-blinded, randomized controlled trial. A total of 42 individuals with LDP were allocated randomly by computer-generated numbers to an experimental and a control group. The experimental group got neural mobilization along with usual physiotherapy treatment. The control group got just usual physiotherapy. Postural education was given for both groups in sitting and standing positions. The total number of therapy sessions was eight, with a frequency of four sessions per week for a duration of 2 weeks. The Dallas pain questionnaire (DPQ) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) questionnaire were measured on the initial day and after eight sessions of treatment. The data was analyzed through paired Results: A significant improvement of pain in different positions and disability was demonstrated in the within-group analysis by paired Conclusion: Shacklock's neural mobilization, along with standard physiotherapy techniques, had a significant impact on pain and disability for people with acute and subacute LDP.
