The association between self-efficacy on function and pain outcomes among patients with chronic low back pain managed using the McKenzie approach: a prospective cohort study.

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
introductionSelf-efficacy is a determinant of function and pain outcomes in patients with chronic low back pain receiving physiotherapy. The McKenzie approach is an effective intervention for patients with back pain that may affect self-efficacy. Study aims were to determine if, among patients with back pain being managed by McKenzie-credentialed physiotherapists: intake self-efficacy is correlated with intake function and pain; intake self-efficacy is associated with changes in function and pain during treatment; self-efficacy improves during treatment; and improvements in self-efficacy during treatment are associated with improvements in function and pain at discharge.
methodsTwo-hundred-eighty-two subjects with chronic low back pain seen by McKenzie-credentialed clinicians provided data on self-efficacy, function and pain at intake and discharge.
resultsSelf-efficacy was correlated with function and pain at intake; however, intake self-efficacy was not associated with function or pain outcomes. Self-efficacy increased during treatment. This increase was associated with improvements in function and pain at discharge.
conclusionWhile intake self-efficacy was associated with function and pain when initiating physiotherapy, it did not result in improved treatment outcomes. Specific interventions may be necessary to improve self-efficacy. The increases in self-efficacy observed during treatment were associated with improvements in function and pain outcomes at discharge.
