Efficiency of Associating Therapeutic Patient Education with Rehabilitation in the Management of Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Korean journal of family medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to assess the benefits of associating rehabilitation with therapeutic patient education (TPE) to decrease fear-avoidance belief and pain and improve function in adults with chronic low back pain (CLBP).
methodsThis randomized controlled study included 100 patients with CLBP according to the CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) guidelines. The patients were divided into two teams: group A that participated in the TPE in association with rehabilitation and group B that received rehabilitation only. Pain and functional amelioration were assessed initially (T0) and at the end of the program (T1) using a visual analog scale at rest, work, and activity, and the Echelle d'Incapacité Fonctionnelle pour l'Évaluation des Lombalgies scale. Psychological and apprehension and avoidance assessments were also conducted, including the evaluation of depression, anxiety, fear-avoidance belief, and kinesiophobia using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire, and Tampa scale of kinesiophobia scale.
resultsThe evaluation of progression initially (T0) and then at the end of the program (T1) revealed a significant reduction in pain at rest (P=0.00) and while working (P=0.00) and doing physical activity (P=0.03); a decrease in anxiety (P=0.03), fear-avoidance belief (P=0.03), and kinesiophobia (P=0.02); and an improvement in function (P=0.00) for patients in group A without amelioration of depression (P=0.15). Concerning group B, we identified a significant regression in pain at rest (P=0.001) and while working (P=0.03) and doing physical activity (P=0.00); depression (P=0.01); fear-avoidance beliefs (P=0.00); and kinesiophobia (P=0.002). Comparison between the groups revealed that associating TPE with rehabilitation resulted in a more significant improvement in function (P=0.00), anxiety (P=0.00), fear-avoidance belief (P=0.00), and kinesiophobia (P=0.00).
conclusionAssociating TPE with rehabilitation improved function and reduced fear, false beliefs, and kinesiophobia of movement in patients with CLBP.
