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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship of illness perceptions (IPs) with demographic features, severity of pain, functional capacity, disability, depression, and quality of life in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). PATIENTS AND
methodsBetween January 2015 and July 2015, a total of 114 patients with non-specific CLBP (86 females, 28 males; mean age 47.1±15.2 years; range, 18 to 85 years) were included. Non-specific CLBP was defined as low back pain not attributable to a recognizable, known specific pathology such as infection, tumor, inflammation for ≥12 weeks. The IPs using the revised Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-R), pain severity using the visual analog scale (VAS), functional capacity using the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), disability using the modified Oswestry Disability Index (m-ODI), depression using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and quality of life using the Short Form-36 (SF-36) were assessed.
resultsThere was a significant, positive correlation between the age, body mass index, duration of disease, pain scores, and IPQ-R- consequences, timeline (acute/chronic), and emotional responses subunits, whereas there was a significant, negative correlation between the IPQ-R-personal and treatment control subunits (p<0.001). The IPQ-R-timeline (acute/chronic), consequences, and emotional response subunits were positively and personal and treatment controls and illness coherence subunits were negatively correlated with the BDI and m-ODI (p<0.001). The IPQ-R-consequences and emotional responses subunits were negatively and timeline (acute/chronic), personal and treatment controls, and illness coherence subunits were positively correlated with the SF-36 subunits (p<0.05).
conclusionThe IPs were negatively affected by advanced age, high body mass index, longer duration of disease, and increased severity of pain in CLBP patients. Based on these findings, positive IPs may be related with reduced disability and depression, and improved quality of life and functional capacity in this patient population. Developing new strategies for improving the negative IPs of patients with CLBP may be useful.
