Dual task function differences in chronic low back pain: a narrative review.
Article in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association, 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
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) presents complex challenges, with traditional treatments offering only moderate relief. Emerging evidence suggests that impairments in dual task performance-simultaneous cognitive and motor processing-may contribute to CLBP persistence. This narrative review examined 10 studies comparing individuals with CLBP to healthy controls using various dual task paradigms. Findings indicated consistent deficits in gait variability, balance control, and muscle activation patterns among CLBP participants, especially under cognitive load. Neurocognitive impairments, including delayed anticipatory postural adjustments and altered trunk control, were also observed. These deficits likely reflect disrupted sensorimotor integration and resource competition within the central nervous system due to chronic pain. Incorporating dual task interventions into rehabilitation may enhance outcomes by addressing both cognitive and motor domains. Future research should focus on standardized assessments, pain-related cognitive interactions, and neuroimaging methods to further explore these mechanisms and support targeted treatment strategies for CLBP.
