この研究はインパクトが大きい可能性があると判断されました。 OEのAIによるハイインパクト指標は、論文が掲載されたジャーナルと論文自体の科学的内容の両方からのシグナルを統合することで、論文の影響力を推定します。 最先端の自然言語処理を用いて開発されたOEハイインパクトモデルは、ジャーナルのインパクトファクターのみよりも、研究の将来の引用実績をより正確に予測します。 これにより、臨床的に意義のある研究をより早く認識することができ、読者は将来の診療を形成する可能性が最も高い論文に焦点を当てることができます。

研究概要

558 patients with low back pain from 8 randomized controlled trials were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis comparing mind-body interventions (ex. Pilates) performed by a physical therapist to a control group (either exercise-based or non-exercise-based). The pooled outcomes of interest included pain and disability scores, at both short (<12 weeks) and long-term (≥12 weeks) follow-up. The results of the meta-analysis indicated significantly better short-term pain outcomes compared to both exercise and non-exercised controls; however, the effect was larger compared to non-exercise controls. With respect to disability, no differences in the sub-group analyses by control type were observed, but mind-body exercise did outperform all controls in the pooled outcome for short-term disability. No differences in pooled long-term pain or disability outcomes were observed.
