Which Neuromuscular Attributes Are Associated With Changes in Mobility Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults With Symptomatic Lumbar Spinal Stenosis?
Article in Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesTo identify neuromuscular attributes associated with mobility and changes in mobility over 2 years of follow-up among patients with and without symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis (SLSS).

resultsAmong 430 community-dwelling older adults, 54 (13%) patients met criteria for SLSS, while 246 (57%) did not. On average LLFDI basic and advanced mobility scores decreased significantly from baseline through year 2 for participants with SLSS (basic: P=.04, 95% CI 0.18, 5.21; advanced P=.03, 95% CI 0.39, 7.84). Trunk extensor muscle endurance (trunk endurance) and leg strength were associated with baseline basic mobility (R
conclusionsPatients with SLSS experience greater impairment in the neuromuscular attributes: trunk endurance, leg strength, leg strength asymmetry, knee flexion and extension ROM, and ankle ROM compared to patients without SLSS. Differences exist in the neuromuscular attributes associated with mobility at baseline and decline in mobility over 2 years of follow-up for patients with and without SLSS. These findings may help guide rehabilitative care approaches for patients with SLSS.
