The physical and psychological effectiveness of mHealth-based physiotherapy for patients with chronic non-specific low back pain: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
BackgroundTo determine (a) the effect of mHealth-based physiotherapy for patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP) on fear, anxiety, depression, and self-efficacy; (b) which is the most effective on improving individuals' pain intensity and physical disability through the comparison of the efficacy of mHealth-based physiotherapy with outpatient-based physiotherapy, home-based physiotherapy with simple supervision or unsupervision, and waiting-list group.MethodsThe systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted in PubMed, MEDLINE (via Ovid), Scopus, Embase, the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) until September 20, 2024. Two independent reviewers (LQ and CZW) extracted information about origin, characteristics of study participants, eligibility criteria, characteristics of interventions, outcome measures and main results.ResultsA total of 37 RCTs involving 5832 participants were included. The risk of bias was generally low in the included studies. The results indicated that mHealth-based physiotherapy for individuals' CNLBP was more effective in reducing pain intensity (standardized mean difference [SMD] -0.32, 95% CI -0.48 to -0.17;
