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

introductionThe current aging population has a major impact on public health. Locomotive syndrome (LS) is a condition that carries a high risk for developing systemic musculoskeletal disability.

methodsParticipants were patients with chronic pain (n = 415) who were examined at the Japanese multidisciplinary pain centers of the research consortium. They completed the 25-question geriatric locomotive function scale (GLFS-25; LS screening tool), an 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS) of pain intensity and its psychological distresses, health-related quality of life (HRQOL) questionnaire, and a survey of exercise habits. A multifaceted analysis of the relevance of the pain, psychological distresses, and LS were conducted using SPSS and AMOS software.

results337 patients (81.2%) were found to have LS. The final model of a multifaceted analysis demonstrated good fitness for the "vicious cycle" model among the results of LS, pain intensity, impairment of self-efficacy, and depression; these parameters independently impaired HRQOL. Anxiety related to falling (GLFS-25) and exercise habits affected the model.

conclusionsThese findings indicate LS, LS-related pain, and psychological distress create a vicious cycle, resulting in the impairment of HRQOL. Treatment strategies for LS should inclusively focus on musculoskeletal disorders, pain, and pain-related psychological factors.
