[Practicability of a German version of the "Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire". A questionnaire to assess disability caused by back pain].
Article in Schmerz (Berlin, Germany), 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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.
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
While caring for patients with chronic low back pain, a standardized measurement of pain and pain-related reduction of the quality of life is needed. Easy application and data collection are decisive for routine use. The Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire is an internationally widely used instrument, which was now scrutinized in 148 patients in two orthopedic hospitals. A higher pain disability was related to age, female gender, limitations experienced in social life, impact of pain, use of analgetics, low net income, and patients in Eastern Germany. The available German version of the questionnaire is suitable for daily use to measure the intensity of pain and pain-related disability in everyday life, including social impairment due to low back pain.
