Avoidance-Endurance Model in Older Black Men with Low Back Pain: Exploring Relationships.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveThe objective of the study was to investigate functional performance and pain intensity outcomes for associations with negative cognitive orientations, avoidance behaviors, and fear of pain in older Black men with low back pain (LBP).
methodsSixty Black men aged 60 and older (70 years[Formula: see text]) with LBP completed the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), the 400-m walk test, and subjective measures of avoidance behaviors, back performance, pain intensity, and pain catastrophizing (i.e., rumination, magnification, and helplessness). Multiple regression models were used to examine associations.
resultsHigher helplessness scores were associated with worse back performance (ß = 0.55, p = 0.02), slower walking speed (ß = 0.30, p = 0.02), and higher average pain intensity (ß = 0.22, [Formula: see text] p = 0.03). Higher rumination scores were associated with better back performance (ß = - 0.36, p = 0.04). Avoidance behaviors, fear of pain, and magnification were not significantly associated with any of the variables included in the tested models.
conclusionNegative cognitive internalization is associated with limitations in functional performance in older Black men with LBP. Additional research is needed to further examine the cognitive orientations for understanding experienced pain and function in this population. Such research may inform the development of interventions for improving functional performance outcomes of older Black men with LBP.
