Psychosocial Assessment as a Key Component in an Integrated, Personalized Care Pathway: A Protocol for a Low Back Pain Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Pain and therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06895317 (Chronic Low Back Pain), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
introductionLow back pain (LBP) is the primary factor contributing to years lived with disability. In view of the close correlation between the functions of the body, which cannot be examined piecemeal but as an integrated system, a holistic approach allows for a comprehensive assessment of the patient. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of face-to-face or remote rehabilitation treatment on the psychosocial aspects of patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) examining all possible related dimensions: cognitive function, anxiety and depression, pain perception, treatment adherence, the sexual sphere, family dynamics, social support, dysfunctional communication, quality of life (QoL), while also considering attribution of causes.
methodsThis prospective, randomized, controlled trial with blinded outcome assessors evaluates the psychosocial functioning of 86 patients with chronic LBP. Participants divided into two groups to compare tele-rehabilitation with face-to-face rehabilitation with a 1:1 randomization based on a web-based system will all undergo neuropsychological, psychological, and associated clinical condition assessment through standardized tests and ad hoc questionnaires at enrollment (T0), after 1 month (T1), 2 months (T2), and 6 months (T3). The analysis involves descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and correlation tests to evaluate treatment effects and psychosocial outcomes at multiple time points. PLANNED OUTCOMES: We expect this study to provide a comprehensive, in-depth, and integrated understanding of the patient, shedding light on the challenges they may face in managing chronic LBP (CLBP). Repeated administration of the questionnaires will allow us to monitor the patient over time, assess any changes in their health status, and structure an intervention tailored to their needs. By emphasizing these often neglected areas through a comprehensive, multi-step assessment, it will be possible to quantify and analyze how these risk factors can affect patients' wellbeing and hinder the treatment process and recovery.
