Wearing an Activating Spinal Orthosis and Physical Training in Women With Osteoporosis and Back Pain: A Postintervention Follow-Up Study.
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 assess the duration of benefits on back pain and back extensor strength in women with osteoporosis who had previously participated in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) involving either exercise or wearing a spinal orthosis.
designA 6-month postintervention follow-up of women who were involved in the interventions in the RCT.
settingThe study was conducted in a primary health care center in Stockholm, Sweden.
participantsIn this follow-up study 31 women participated in the spinal orthosis group, and 31 women participated in the exercise group, with a median age of 76 years in both groups (N=62). All women were diagnosed as having osteoporosis, had back pain with or without vertebral fracture, and were 60 years or older, which were the inclusion criteria in the RCT.
interventionsThe participants received no controlled supervision. The spinal orthosis group was asked to wear the orthosis, and the training group was asked to follow an exercise program for another 6 months voluntarily.
main outcome measuresBack extensor strength was measured with a computerized device; back pain was estimated by the visual analog scale and by Borg CR-10.
resultsAfter 6 months there were no significant differences between the groups in back extensor strength or back pain. Analyses within the groups showed that achieved results during 6 months intervention in the RCT were maintained after 6 months of voluntary use of the spinal orthosis and training. In the spinal orthosis group, back extensor strength mean was 81.7 N, and back pain median was 3 mm. In the training group back extensor strength mean was 72.8 N, and back pain median was 3 mm. There were no changes for any other measurements performed.
conclusionsVoluntary use of the spinal orthosis or exercise during a 6-month follow-up period maintained the increase in back extensor muscle strength obtained during the RCT. Estimation of back pain was not influenced. This indicates that the women had continued to use the spinal orthosis and exercise.
