Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity and its Association Among Patients with Low Back Pain.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Objective To evaluate the physical activity levels in individuals with low back pain (LBP) and its relationship with various demographic variables like age, gender, number of days off from work and nature of occupation. Methodology This was a cross-sectional study that was done in a private hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Data was collected between the periods of 2017-2018. All patients who attended the orthopedic outpatient department (OPD) with LBP were included in this study and were requested to fill the Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity (RAPA) questionnaire. The gathered data were analyzed through the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL), version 23. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the mean difference in RAPA scores between genders, age, occupation and number of leaves from their work. Results Three hundred sixty patients visited the orthopedic OPD with the primary complaint of LBP, 318 (88.3%) were male whereas 42 (11.7%) were female. The study revealed that among these patients, 117 (32.5%) led sedentary while 176 (48.9%) led an underactive lifestyle. Furthermore, 246 (68.3%) patients did not do any activity that increases their muscle strength and flexibility. Conclusion The findings of this study revealed that low physical activity is prevalent in patients with LBP. Therefore, the importance of physical activity should be highlighted in order to prevent chronic diseases like LBP.
