Associations between trunk mobility, pain, and quality of life in individuals with chronic low back pain treated with different therapeutic protocols: Potential clinical parameters.

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
BackgroundPhysiotherapy guidelines for managing low back pain (LBP) recommend the use of validated measures such as trunk mobility, pain intensity, and questionnaires to evaluate function. However, the relationship between these clinical parameters remains insufficiently understood.ObjectiveTo investigate associations between trunk mobility, mobility-dependent pain, and quality of life (QOL) as potential clinical parameters in individuals with nonspecific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP).MethodsA secondary analysis was conducted on data from 51 individuals with NSCLBP enrolled in a randomized trial comparing the 4xT method and physiotherapeutic-guided exercise. Both groups completed a six-week rehabilitation program with two sessions per week, followed by a six-week therapy-free period. Trunk range of motion, mobility-dependent pain, and perceived health were analyzed as predictors of QOL using correlation and linear regression.ResultsIncreased trunk mobility and elevated perceived health are positively associated with QOL in individuals with NSCLBP. Higher levels of mobility-dependent pain are negatively associated with QOL. The interaction between trunk mobility and changes in mobility-dependent pain intensity did not have an additional impact on QOL. Overall, our findings indicate that these associations were moderate or occasionally weak.ConclusionsTrunk mobility, mobility-dependent pain, and perceived health are relevant clinical predictors of QOL in individuals with NSCLBP. These findings highlight the importance of assessing both
