Low back pain and its correlations with poor sleep quality among health care providers.

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
objectiveThis study investigates the relationship between low back pain (LBP) and sleep quality among health care workers in KSA.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, an anonymous questionnaire consisting of three sections was administered to health care providers in KSA. The first part included the biographic data of participants, while the second comprised the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and the extended version of the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ-E) for LBP. The third part contained the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
resultsA total of 442 healthcare providers completed the questionnaire. Nearly two-thirds of the respondents were male (62.7%). Most were living in either the central region (23.3%) or the northern region (23.3%). There was a statistically significant correlation between the global PSQI and ODI score (r = 0.235;
conclusionHealth care providers in KSA with high rating for LBP disability demonstrated poorer overall sleep quality and vice versa. However, further research is essential to investigate whether this relationship is causal.
