Effect of dry needling therapy on hip range of motion as a component of functional performance in patients with chronic low back pain: a randomized clinical trial.

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
Introduction: The dry needling (DN) method is increasingly used in the treatment of low back pain (LBP). It involves inserting a thin needle into the tissue without anesthesia or injection. The therapeutic effect of DN is related to the change in the mechanical sensitivity of muscle tissue and reducing pain in patients with musculoskeletal dysfunctions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of DN according to the Five Regulatory Systems Concept (FRSc) on the range of motion of the hip joints as a component of functional performance in patients with chronic LBP. Material and methods: The study included 46 patients with LBP assigned to the experimental group ( Results: In the measurements of the range of hip movement for both lower limbs in both groups there were statistically significant differences (main effect: Conclusions: The use of DN according to the FRSc contributes to improved hip range of motion in patients with LBP. When used in conjunction with an exercise program, it can be an effective adjunct to standard physiotherapy for patients with LBP.
