[What influence do increased physical performance, age, sex and training frequency have on the effectiveness of back training?]
Article in Schmerz (Berlin, Germany), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundActive exercising can effectively reduce low back pain but the mechanisms of action are still unclear.
objectiveWhat are the influences of training frequency, increased physical performance, age and gender on the effectiveness of a multimodal back training? MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 1395 persons with back pain (mean age 46.9 ± 12.3 years, 65% female) took part in a multimodal back training over 24 months in the context of a multicenter study (39 locations). Back pain, physical capacity of strength, mobility and bilateral strength ratio of the spine stabilizing muscles were measured at the beginning of the training and after 6, 12 and 18 months. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The participants trained on average for 41.0 (SD ± 17.8) 60-min training units. This resulted in an increase of strength (28.1%), mobility (14.7%) and strength ratio (6.5%) compared to an age and gender-matched cohort without back pain. Back pain was reduced by 37.5%. The reduction in back pain can be ascribed to the training frequency by 70% and to increased physical performance by 30%. Age only marginally influenced the effect of training, while gender had no significant effect.
conclusionIncreases in physical performance have positive effects on the reduction of back pain but the number of training sessions was shown to be more relevant in the reduction of low back pain.
