Effect of Psoas Muscle Myofascial Release on Pain and Disability Index in People With Nonspecific Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Article in Journal of chiropractic medicine, 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: This study aimed to examine the effect of the psoas myofascial release (MFR), along with physiotherapy (PT) on pain and disability index in treating people with nonspecific chronic low back pain (NCLBP). Methods: Forty subjects with NCLBP (>3 months) were randomly allocated into 2 groups (n = 20) of the MFR+ PT and PT alone groups. Each group received 8 sessions of PT. The MFR+ PT group received the psoas MFR in 4 sessions in addition to PT. The Numeric Pain Rating Scale was used for pain assessment, while the Roland Morris Questionnaire (RMQ) for disability index was employed to evaluate the effect of psoas MFR and PT. Assessments were performed at baseline, end of the treatment, and 4 weeks of follow-up. Results: The statistical analysis revealed a significant reduction in pain and disability index in both groups at the end of the treatment ( Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that the psoas MFR may have an effect on the disability index in people with NCLBP. However, psoas MFR was not more effective in reducing pain.
