Effects of non-invasive multimodal transcutaneous electrotherapy on pain and posture associated with lumbar radicular pain: A case series.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 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
Radicular lumbar pain is a widespread condition characterized by nerve dysfunction. Many treatments have been proposed over time for its management, ranging from surgery to conservative approaches. The combined application of multiple transcutaneous electrotherapies may be a valid approach for the condition; however, the evidence supporting it is currently weak, as most proposed application protocols are often lacking in detail and replicability. A case series of seven patients (mean age 65 ± 9 years) was conducted to observe their response to a specific non-invasive multimodal transcutaneous electrotherapy protocol, monitored through pain and perceived disability rating scales and postural assessments. Patients showed a general improvement in the monitored parameters, particularly the painful component of the condition. The proposed protocol appears effective and merits further, more in-depth studies, while it continues to be successfully applied in the management of patients with radicular lumbar pain.
