1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This study investigated effects of cognitive dual-task interference and task prioritization instructions on task performance and trunk control during a dynamic balance task in persons with and without recurrent low back pain (rLBP). First, we tested the hypothesis that those with rLBP rely more on cognitive resources than back-healthy controls, and therefore trunk kinematics would be altered under dual-task interference conditions. Then, we tested participants' ability to modulate task performance in accord with prioritization instructions. Persons with and without rLBP (n = 19/group) performed the Balance-Dexterity Task, which involved single-limb balance while compressing an unstable spring with the other limb, with and without a cognitive task engaging verbal working memory. Trunk coupling was quantified with the coefficient of determination (R
