Non-Pharmacological Interventions for the Treatment of Lumbopelvic Pain in Pregnant Women: A Systematic Review Protocol Using the TIDieR Checklist.
Article in Musculoskeletal care, 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
backgroundLumbopelvic pain (LPP) is one of the most common complaints during pregnancy, with a reported prevalence of 63%. During pregnancy, treatment should preferably be non-invasive. However, scientific evidence on non-pharmacological interventions for pregnant women with LPP is still limited.
objectiveTo synthesise the available evidence on the effectiveness of interventions for LPP in pregnant women and to assess the quality and completeness of intervention reporting using the TIDieR checklist.
methodsRandomised controlled trials evaluating non-pharmacological interventions in pregnant women of any gestational age diagnosed with lumbopelvic pain, including low back pain, pelvic pain, or combined pain, will be included. Review studies, observational studies, editorials, letters, commentaries, preprints, dissertations, and theses will be excluded. This systematic review protocol follows PRISMA-P recommendations and is registered in PROSPERO (CRD420251061024). Searches will be conducted in PubMed, PEDro, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and LILACS using terms related to pregnancy, lumbopelvic pain, and non-pharmacological interventions. Four independent reviewers will select studies and extract data using the TIDieR checklist to assess the completeness of intervention reporting. The certainty of the evidence will be assessed using the GRADE system, and the risk of bias will be assessed using the RoB 2 tool. Disagreements will be resolved by a fifth reviewer. The results will be synthesised, and a meta-analysis will be performed if feasible.
conclusionThe results can enhance scientific knowledge, support evidence-based clinical decision-making, and contribute to improving care protocols in women's health and obstetrics.
