1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

In this study we documented the effectiveness of a 3-week multidisciplinary rehabilitative intervention in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain. We compared the therapy group (136 patients: 91 female, 45 male) with a waiting list control group (34 patients: 25 female, 9 male). The patients showed chronic pain grades 1 and 2 (according to the Mainz Pain Staging System) and mild restriction of activity. Pain intensity, activity, participation, and health-related quality of life improved significantly in the intervention group (VAS from 46.34 to 25.91; FFbH-R from 19.79 to 18; PDI from 21.02 to 14.57; NHP from 161.83 to 120.97); the waiting list control group remained unchanged. The improvement was independent of age, gender, duration of disease, work status, or workplace satisfaction.
