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

backgroundChronic low back pain is often accompanied by fear-avoidance cognitions, increased depressive symptoms and decreased quality of life.

objectiveIs the relationship between fear-avoidance cognitions and quality of life mediated by depressive symptoms?

methodsMediation analyses were conducted to predict the long-term quality of life with depressive symptoms as mediator using longitudinal data from 131 patients.

resultsFear-avoidance cognitions prior to rehabilitation predicted the physical quality of life 24 months after rehabilitation, which was mediated by the degree of depressive symptoms 6 months after rehabilitation. The other assumed models could not be tested due to non-significant correlations between the model variables.

conclusionTo improve the physical quality of life, depressive symptoms should be included into the treatment of chronic low back pain.
