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

backgroundAnticipatory (APAs) and compensatory (CPAs) postural adjustments are organised by the central nervous system (CNS) and serve to control postural perturbations. Ineffective APAs and CPAs have been hypothesised to contribute to the persistence of symptoms and disability in people with low back pain (LBP). Despite two decades of research, there is no systematic review investigating APAs and CPAs in people with LBP. Thus, the aim of the current review is to determine if APA and CPA onset or amplitude, as measured by electromyography (EMG), centre of pressure (COP), and kinematics, are altered in people with LBP. METHODS/

designA systematic review and meta-analysis will be conducted. Searches will be conducted in electronic databases for full-text articles published before January 2016 using pre-defined search strategies that utilise combinations of keywords and medical subject heading terms. Two independent reviewers will screen potentially relevant articles for inclusion, extract data, and assess risk of bias for individual studies. Any disagreements will be resolved by a third reviewer. Studies comparing APA onset and amplitude and CPA onset and amplitude measured by EMG, COP, or kinematics between people with LBP and healthy individuals will be included if all aspects of the eligibility criteria are met. Data will be synthesised if studies are homogeneous; otherwise, results will be reviewed narratively. DISCUSSION: To our knowledge, this is the first systematic review to examine APAs and CPAs, as measured by EMG, COP, and kinematics in people with LBP. The findings of this review may aid in the identification of factors that play a role in the persistence of symptoms and disability and aid in the development of interventions to treat symptoms.
