A personalized online intervention to enhance back pain-related self-efficacy: A two-arm randomized controlled trial (IDRIS).
Article in Internet interventions, 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
Objective: Low back pain (LBP) affects daily functioning and strains healthcare systems. Cognitive, behavioral, and emotional factors contribute to its persistence, yet these factors are often neglected in standard care. Personalized digital interventions containing psychoeducational information on relevant biopsychosocial aspects may thus improve outcomes when applied to patients in an early stage. This trial examined whether a brief, personalized animated psychoeducational video-tailored to individual risk profiles based on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and covering biopsychosocial contributors to LBP (depression, catastrophizing, health anxiety, fear of movement, pain endurance behavior, expectations, trauma, emotion regulation)-improves pain-related self-efficacy in adults with acute and subacute low back pain (0-12 weeks). Methods: In this two-arm randomized controlled trial, participants with back pain (duration <12 weeks) and resulting impairment were randomized to receive either a personalized animated video (intervention) or care as usual (control). Videos comprised modules (≈2-3.5 min per module) selected from eight possible topics based on baseline PROM cut-offs. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, 4 weeks and 12 weeks. Primary analysis used mixed ANOVA to examine changes in pain-related self-efficacy (FESS) over time and between groups; secondary outcomes on biopsychosocial factors were tested with repeated measures ANOVAs and group-adjusted ANCOVAs. Results: 75 participants were included in the analysis. Pain-related self-efficacy improved significantly over time, F(2, 148) = 6.435, Conclusion: Although brief exposure may have limited the impact, the intervention was well-received. Future research should explore integrating personalized psychoeducation into multimodal treatments, emphasizing the importance of individualized approaches for this diverse patient population. Summary: A brief personalized online intervention improved back-pain self-efficacy, without being superior to an untreated control group. High acceptance seems promising for future multimodal use.
