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

Back pain is a common reason for consulting a general practitioner. For 80% of patients, the back pain is nonspecific. Specific back pain has a determinable cause that needs to be rapidly identified. The diagnostic work-up to clarify spinal pain involves a detailed patient history taking into account the "red flags", a clinical examination and further stepwise diagnostics. In addition to laboratory diagnostics, structured morphological imaging is necessary. Causes of specific back pain include: fractures, infections, radiculopathy, tumors, axial spondylarthritis, as well as extravertebral causes. The diagnosis, treatment and continuous follow-up of the patient with specific back pain is interdisciplinary and requires close communication with the relevant specialists.
