SUCRA, probability of best, and mean rank for pain reduction interventions.

Intervention	Number of studies	SUCRA (0–1)	PrBest (%)	Mean rank
Blank control	5	0.01	0.0	8.9
Land-based exercise	8	0.48	0.2	5.2
General care	9	0.27	0.0	6.8
Aquatic exercise	12	0.56	0.2	4.5
Balneotherapy	2	0.4	1.7	5.8
Balneotherapy + general care	7	0.92	61.4	1.7
Balneotherapy + land-based exercise	4	0.62	3.8	4.0
Land-based exercise + general care	1	0.53	11.2	4.7
Aquatic exercise + general care	1	0.71	21.5	3.3

SUCRA (surface under the cumulative ranking curve; range 0–1), higher values indicate a better overall ranking. PrBest (%), the probability that an intervention ranks first in the network. Mean rank, average position in the treatment hierarchy (1 = best). “+” indicates combined interventions. Interventions based on ≤3 trials should be interpreted with substantial caution, as exclusion of single trials would meaningfully alter rankings.
