Effect of Mobilisation With Movement on Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction in Postnatal Women.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Background Postnatal sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD) frequently persists into the extended postpartum period due to altered biomechanics and residual ligamentous laxity. This study investigated the preliminary clinical efficacy of incorporating Mulligan's Mobilisation With Movement (MWM) into a progressive conventional stabilisation program versus conventional stabilisation alone in women beyond six months postpartum. Methods In this comparative study, 102 postnatal women following lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) (aged 20-35 years, > 6 months postpartum) with clinically confirmed SIJD were randomly allocated to Group A (MWM plus conventional stabilisation, n = 51) or Group B (conventional stabilisation alone, n = 51) for an eight-week intervention protocol. Outcome measures included the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, and bi-directional lumbo-pelvic range of motion (flexion and extension). Results Baseline clinical and demographic characteristics were homogeneous between cohorts (p > 0.05). Post-intervention, Group A demonstrated more pronounced improvements than Group B across all parameters (p < 0.001). Group A achieved a mean VAS pain reduction of 4.70 points compared to 2.65 points in Group B. Functional mobility improved with a 5.40-second TUG reduction in Group A versus 2.90 seconds in Group B. Furthermore, bi-directional mobility gains were greater in Group A, with flexion expanding by 25.70° and extension by 14.10°. Conclusion These preliminary findings suggest that combining directional-specific MWM with conventional stabilisation exercises provides meaningful short-term clinical benefits. This integrated approach may offer a valuable mechanical strategy for reducing pain, improving dynamic stability, and restoring mobility in late postnatal SIJD.
