Characteristics and exacerbating factors of chronic low back pain in Parkinson's disease.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to determine the exacerbating factors of chronic low back pain (LBP) and strategic points against LBP in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).
methodsForty-four consecutive PD patients complaining of LBP were included. Clinical characteristics of PD and LBP, spinal musculoskeletal condition, and clinical health status were evaluated.
resultsPatient age at PD and LBP onset was contiguous, and LBP time period was mainly described as constant or upon waking up. Exacerbating factors of LBP included modified Hoehn and Yahr stage and motor complications of PD, such as the wearing-off phenomenon and dyskinesia. Bone quality demonstrated osteopenia due to elevated bone resorption, with vitamins K and D insufficiencies. Spinal alignment demonstrated an increased sagittal vertical axis (120.2 ± 65.4 mm) with decreased lumbar lordosis (-24.0 ± 20.6°) and lumbar range of motion (28.7 ± 10.2°), which were significantly related to severity of LBP and quality of life assessments.
conclusionsThis study demonstrated that exacerbating factors of LBP include stage of motor function, motor complications of PD and stooped posture with decreased lumbar lordosis and range of lumbar movement. Therefore, control of PD, including motor complications, active treatment for osteoporosis and therapeutic exercise, are important for treating chronic LBP in patients with PD.
