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
objectiveTo review the evaluation method of paraspinal muscle and its role in lumbar spine diseases, and offer reference for further research on paraspinal muscles.
methodsThe related literature of paraspinal muscle measurement and its role in lumbar spine diseases was reviewed. The evaluation methods of paraspinal muscle were analyzed from the advantages and disadvantages and the role of paraspinal muscle in lumbar spine diseases was summarized.
resultsRadiographic methods are often used to evaluate the atrophy of paraspinal muscle, mainly including CT and MRI. The cross-sectional area and fatty infiltration of paraspinal muscle are two key parameters. Radiographic methods are reproducible and widely applied, but CT has the disadvantage of radiation exposure, while the cost of MRI is high. Besides, more and more researchers focus on the functional evaluation of paraspinal muscle, which mainly includes surface electromyogram analysis and back muscle strength test. The surface electromyogram analysis can quantitatively measure neuromuscular function, but the results could be affected by many influencing factors. The back muscle strength test is simple, but it lacks standardized posture. The atrophy of paraspinal muscle is related to many lumbar spine diseases, while the results of different researches are different.
conclusionThere are many methods to evaluate paraspinal muscles, but there is no unified standard. The role of paraspinal muscle in lumbar spine diseases need to be further studied.
