Table 1_Comparative effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions for depression and

A systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis comparing the effectiveness of nine non-pharmacological interventions for chronic low back pain. The analysis includes 24 randomized controlled trials with 1,828 participants, sourced from databases including PubMed and Cochrane up to June 2025. Results are presented as standardized mean differences with 95% credible intervals for pain, anxiety, and depression outcomes.

Use Cases

• Comparing treatment effect sizes for pain relief based on reported standardized mean differences (SMDs).
• Assessing the relative effectiveness of mind-body exercises versus structured exercise for anxiety and depression symptoms.
• Investigating sources of heterogeneity in clinical trial outcomes for chronic pain conditions.
• Evaluating the application of Bayesian random-effects models in network meta-analysis of healthcare interventions.

Strengths

• Analysis is based on 24 randomized controlled trials, a recognized gold-standard study design.
• Reports specific effect sizes (SMDs) with 95% credible intervals for three distinct clinical outcomes.
• Includes a prospectively registered protocol (PROSPERO CRD420251066414), which reduces reporting bias.
• Conducted comprehensive sensitivity, subgroup, and regression analyses to explore heterogeneity.

Limitations

• The primary data file is a 155.1 KB DOCX document, which suggests the dataset is likely a summary table or manuscript rather than raw trial data.
• Row and column-level details are unknown, limiting direct computational analysis without manual extraction.
• The description notes considerable statistical heterogeneity (I² up to 86.24%) across outcome measures, which may affect generalizability.
