Effect of Telemedicine-Supported Structured Exercise Program in Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain: Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Journal of pain research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: Telemedicine-based structured exercise programs have the potential to benefit patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). However, evidence-practice gaps persist, including low exercise adherence and insufficient focus on mental health. Consequently, further research is warranted to clarify the impact of telemedicine-supported structured exercise programs on patients with CLBP. Patients and Methods: This randomized controlled trial will include patients with CLBP who have not received exercise therapy in the past three months. Participants in the trial group will receive patient education, health coaching, and home-based exercise therapy via mobile health (mHealth) applications loaded with wearable device integration. Those in the control group will receive conventional treatment, comprising patient education and written instructions for home exercises. Disability including pain intensity will be assessed as primary outcomes using the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) and the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks. Statistical analyses will depend on assumptions such as homogeneity of variance and sphericity: if met, a two-factor, three-level repeated measures analysis of variance will be used; otherwise, a linear mixed-effects model will be employed.
