Assessment and Rehabilitation in Cervical Radiculopathy-Efficacy of Structured Program with or Without Neurotrophic Agents.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Chronic cervical radiculopathy (CR) is a common cause of pain and disability in adults. The primary objective of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of a structured, multimodal rehabilitation program, with or without adjunct neurotrophic supplementation, in chronic cervical radiculopathy; secondarily, this study investigates which patients are most likely to benefit from neurotrophic supplementation and aims to assess effects on pain, cervical mobility, disability, and daily activities to guide individualized care. PATIENTS AND
methodsIn this prospective, randomized controlled trial, 82 patients with chronic CR were allocated to a study group (SG,
resultsBoth groups showed significant improvements, but the SG demonstrated greater reductions in pain (median VAS change: 8.16 ± 0.72 vs. 5.11 ± 0.70,
conclusionsA structured multimodal rehabilitation program significantly improves pain, mobility, and disability in chronic CR, while combining it with PHSD may enhance these effects. Further randomized trials are needed to confirm these findings and establish standardized conservative treatment protocols.
