Supine Bridge Exercise for Low Back Pain: A Fascial Approach for Movement Impairment Syndromes (Part II).
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The supine bridge exercise (SBE) is widely used in rehabilitation for individuals with low back pain (LBP) due to its ability to enhance spinal stability and neuromuscular control. This second installment of a three-part review builds on previously discussed biomechanical principles to offer a functional rationale for applying the SBE to LBP subgroups identified through the Movement Impairment Syndromes framework. A novel interpretative model is proposed in which the SBE is reconceptualized not solely as a muscular strengthening tool, but as a method to increase passive fascial stiffness and promote segmental spinal stability. Emphasis is placed on the relationship between lumbar curvature, fascial tension, and motor control, with distinct execution strategies recommended for flexion-based and extension-based LBP. In flexion-related cases, the goal is to activate lumbar paraspinals while minimizing hamstring involvement; in extension-based presentations, limiting lumbar extension, engaging abdominal control, and promoting posterior pelvic tilt are prioritized. This article highlights the value of individualized, evidence-informed protocols that integrate fascial and biomechanical considerations to optimize rehabilitation outcomes for patients with LBP.
