Fear Avoidance Predicts Persistent Pain in Young Adults With Low Back Pain: A Prospective Study.
Article in The Journal of orthopaedic and sports physical therapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectivesTo (1) quantify relationships between low back pain (LBP) symptoms, physical activity, and psychosocial characteristics in young adults and (2) identify subclasses of young adults with distinct pain trajectories.
designProspective cohort study with 12-month follow-up.
methodsOne hundred twenty adults (mean ± SD age, 20.8 ± 2.6 years; 99 women) participated. Participants completed a baseline survey that measured anxiety, depression, fear avoidance, quality of life, and history and impact of any LBP. Participants completed follow-up surveys every 3 months for 1 year. Subclasses based on pain trajectories over time were identified using latent class analysis, and predictors of class membership at baseline were assessed.
resultsIndividuals with LBP at baseline had lower physical quality-of-life scores than back-healthy participants (
conclusionMost young adults with LBP had symptoms that improved over time. Levels of fear avoidance and pain interference may help to identify individuals at risk of persistent pain early in the lifespan.
