Spinopelvic Alignment as a Risk Factor for Poor Balance Function in Low Back Pain Patients.
Article in Global spine journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
STUDY
designRetrospective, observational study.
objectivesThis study aimed to examine the association between spinopelvic parameters and balance function in low back pain (LBP).
methodsAmong patients in the rehabilitation medicine department, the data of 182 patients (mean age, 47.8 years; M/F = 64/118) was obtained retrospectively. Spinopelvic parameters were measured through a whole-body low-dose biplanar radiography using the EOS imaging system, and balance function was evaluated by the center of pressure (COP) movement using the Zebris treadmill system. Pearson correlations were used to determine the relationship between radiographic and balance function. Stepwise multiple linear regression analyses were conducted with the balance function as a dependent variable and age and spinopelvic parameters as independent variables.
resultsIncreased age, knee flexion (KF), pelvic tilt (PT), C7-central sacral line (C7-CSL) and C7 sagittal vertical axis (SVA), and decreased spino-sacral angle (SSA) were associated with both poor static and dynamic balance. Moreover, increased Cobb's angle and decreased thoracic kyphosis (TK) and lumbar lordosis (LL) was associated with poor static balance. Increased pelvic incidence (PI) was related to poor dynamic balance. Increased age, Cobb's angle, SVA, and decreased TK were risk factors for poor static balance. For dynamic balance, increased age, C7-CSL, and PT were risk factors for poor sagittal balance, whereas increased CAM-plumb line and PT were risk factors for poor coronal balance.
conclusionsBalance function was associated with spinopelvic parameters in patients with LBP. Increased SVA, followed by increased PT, was the strongest independent factor associated with poor static and dynamic balance.
