1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This study evaluated the impact of a lumbar exoskeleton on low back pain perception, in a real work situation. For three weeks, 30 subjects with and without specific low back pain assessed daily their lumbar pain on their work activities at the beginning and end of the workday by a visual analogue scale. The first and the third week, participants worked normally. The second week, participants wore the exoskeleton to work. For subjects with specific low back pain, our results showed a significant decrease in low back pain perception at the end of the week two when wearing the exoskeleton Our result showed that the exoskeleton studied had a positive impact on the pain index perception of workers with mechanical lumbar pathology.
