Forest plot of data pooling for the following comparisons: (A) Immediate within-group comparison (non-RCTs): no soft brace versus soft brace; outcome pain. (B) Prolonged between-group comparison (RCTs): standard care versus soft brace; outcome pain. (C) Prolonged between-group comparison (RCTs): standard care versus soft brace; outcome: self-reported physical function. Abbreviations: df, degrees of freedom; IV, inverse variance; Std., standardized.
