Outcome measurement in patients with low back pain undergoing epidural steroid injection.
Article in Turkish journal of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectivesThis study aims to evaluate the outcomes of epidural steroid injection (ESI) in patients with low back pain. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis prospective study included a total of 82 patients (51 females; 31 males; mean age 50.8±14.2 years; range, 17 to 86 years) who underwent ESI due to lumbar disc hernia-induced radiculopathy between September 2014 and May 2015. The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Istanbul Low Back Pain Disability Index (ILBPDI), and the Short Form-36 (SF-36) were administered to all patients before and three weeks and three months after ESI.
resultsThe mean scores of all scales were significantly lower at three weeks and three months following ESI compared to the baseline scores. There were no significant differences between the mean scores at three weeks and three months. The NRS yielded the highest post-ESI change from baseline.
conclusionOur study results showed that all scales used in this study were effective tools for the evaluation of outcomes of EPI in patients with low back pain. Although the NRS yielded the highest sensitivity for detecting change, evaluating functional state and quality of life is essential for multivariate analyses.
