Combining the Effects of Mobilization With Movement and Cyriax Physiotherapy in Lateral Epicondylitis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis (LE), is characterized by a gradual onset of pain over the lateral aspect of the elbow, particularly during wrist extension with a pronated or supinated hand. It is often exacerbated by gripping activities. Common symptoms include pain at the origin of wrist extensor tendons, reduced grip strength, and impaired upper limb function. The etiology may include trauma, degeneration, repetitive grasping, scar tissue formation, or contractures. Diagnosis is based on patient history, functional tests, and palpation of the lateral epicondyle. A 48-year-old woman, a homemaker complained of right elbow pain and swelling and was diagnosed with LE. Pain intensity was assessed with a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and functional ability with Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE). This case report aims to evaluate the combined effect of mobilization with movement (MWM) and Cyriax physiotherapy on pain reduction and functional improvement in a patient with LE over a two-week intervention period. As a result of physical therapy sessions, pain levels decreased substantially, from 8/10 to 2/10 on the VAS, and improvement in functional ability went from 81/100 to 34/100 in PRTEE. This case suggests that combining MWM and Cyriax physiotherapy techniques may enhance pain relief and functional improvements in patients with LE. Further research with larger statistically significant samples is needed to confirm these findings.
