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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the criterion validity of the Mainz Pain Staging System (MPSS), considering the four axes of the MPSS separately. METHODS AND
designPsychological and pain-related impairments were analysed depending on the stage of axis (I, II, III) for each single axis of the MPSS in a consecutive sample of 280 patients with chronic low back pain in orthopaedic inpatient rehabilitation. In addition, the distribution of frequency of clinically significant symptoms in depression, anxiety and somatisation were examined depending on the stage of axis.
resultsFor all axes, an increasing stage was associated with greater psychological and pain-related impairments. Particularly patients assigned to stage III on axis 1 (temporal aspects) and 2 (spatial aspects) and patients assigned to stage II on axis 3 (drug intake) and 4 (utilisation of the health care system) showed enhanced psychosocial impairments and more frequently had clinically relevant symptoms in psychological variables.
conclusionFindings confirm the criterion validity of the MPSS for chronic low back pain. In addition, results support the significance of psychosocial factors for the further development of chronicity.
