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
Introduction: Kinematic data obtained during a movement task by individuals with chronic low back pain seem to be related to pain-related fear. General kinesiophobia assessments, such as Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, are often used to assess pain-related fear. However, these questionnaires could suffer from a lack of sensitivity and do not measure the fear of specific movements. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the task-specific assessment of pain-related fear exhibits a closer association with trunk kinematics during lumbar flexion compared with the general kinesiophobia in individuals with chronic low back pain. Methods: We assessed pain-related factors, task-specific fear, and Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia-11 scores of 51 company employees. The lumbar angle during a lumbar flexion task was recorded by 2 wireless Axivity Ax3 accelerometers attached to the subject's spinous process (L3) and sacral spine (S2). Only task-specific fear was evaluated after the lumbar flexion task. We calculated the maximum lumbar flexion angle (°) and the peak angular velocity of lumbar flexion/return from flexion (°/s Results: The results showed that task-specific fear was associated with the peak angular velocity of lumbar return from flexion ( Discussion: Our results suggest that clinicians should consider the potential added value of task-specific fear assessment over the sole use of conventional kinesiophobia assessment.
