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

In the current study, multivariate analyses were performed to determine factors associated with low back pain (LBP) in patients with osteoporosis. Aging, high bone turnover, obesity, low trunk muscle mass, spinal global sagittal malalignment, and a high number of previous vertebral fractures were potential independent risk factors of pain-related disorders, gait disturbance, or ADL deficit due to LBP. PURPOSE: Patients with osteoporosis often experience low back pain (LBP) even in the absence of acute fractures. This study identifies factors that may affect questionnaires about LBP.

methodsThe data of 491 patients with osteoporosis were retrospectively reviewed. Data included patient age, sex, body mass index (BMI), bone mineral density of the lumbar spine, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b level (TRACP5b), trunk muscle mass, sagittal vertical axis (SVA), previous vertebral fractures, secondary osteoporosis, controlling nutritional status score, pain-related disorders and gait disturbance scores from the Japanese Orthopedic Association Back Pain Evaluation questionnaire (JOABPEQ), and Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores for activities of daily living (ADL) deficit. Patients with scores of 100 for each subsection of the JOABPEQ, or an ODI scores < 12 were considered to not have dysfunction (dysfunction (-) group). Multivariate analyses were used to determine variables associated with dysfunction.

resultsPain-related disorders score of JOABPEQ was associated with aging, high BMI, and high SVA. Aging, high TRACP5b, high BMI, low TM, high SVA, and more previous vertebral fractures were associated with gait disturbance score of JOABPEQ. ODI scores were associated with high BMI, low TM, high SVA, and more previous vertebral fractures.

conclusionsAging, high bone turnover, obesity, a low TM, spinal global sagittal malalignment, and a high number of previous VFs were potential independent risk factors of pain-related disorders or gait disturbance according to the JOABPEQ or ODI score in patients with osteoporosis.
