Differences in brain processing of proprioception related to postural control in patients with recurrent non-specific low back pain and healthy controls.
Article in NeuroImage. Clinical, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04736511 (Study of the Influence of Proprioceptive Reweighting Ability on the Lower-extremity Biomechanics During Functional Tasks and Unplanned Sidestep Cutting Manoeuvre), which is not on this map.

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

Abstract
Patients with non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) show an impaired postural control during standing and a slower performance of sit-to-stand-to-sit (STSTS) movements. Research suggests that these impairments could be due to an altered use of ankle compared to back proprioception. However, the neural correlates of these postural control impairments in NSLBP remain unclear. Therefore, we investigated brain activity during ankle and back proprioceptive processing by applying local muscle vibration during functional magnetic resonance imaging in 20 patients with NSLBP and 20 controls. Correlations between brain activity during proprioceptive processing and (Airaksinen et al., 2006) proprioceptive use during postural control, evaluated by using muscle vibration tasks during standing, and (Altmann et al., 2007) STSTS performance were examined across and between groups. Moreover, fear of movement was assessed. Results revealed that the NSLBP group performed worse on the STSTS task, and reported more fear compared to healthy controls. Unexpectedly, no group differences in proprioceptive use during postural control were found. However, the relationship between brain activity during proprioceptive processing and behavioral indices of proprioceptive use differed significantly between NSLBP and healthy control groups. Activity in the right amygdala during ankle proprioceptive processing correlated with an impaired proprioceptive use in the patients with NSLBP, but not in healthy controls. Moreover, while activity in the left superior parietal lobule, a sensory processing region, during back proprioceptive processing correlated with a better use of proprioception in the NSLBP group, it was associated with a less optimal use of proprioception in the control group. These findings suggest that functional brain changes during proprioceptive processing in patients with NSLBP may contribute to their postural control impairments.
