Correspondence Analysis to Demonstrate the Relationship Between Musculoskeletal Pain and Body Mass Index.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Background As obese people frequently experience persistent musculoskeletal pain (MSP), understanding the relationship between obesity and pain may help develop therapeutic and preventative approaches to treat discomfort from MSP. MSP can negatively impact such individuals' quality of life and their ability to perform daily tasks. Therefore, more thorough investigations are required to fully understand the connection between obesity and MSP. Aims To assess the relationship between musculoskeletal pain(MSP) and body mass index (BMI) among women in the age group of 25 to 65 years. Methods From July to December 2022, a cross-sectional study among women between the ages of 25 and 65 was carried out near the Rural Health Training Centre (RHTC) of a medical college in the Lucknow District of Uttar Pradesh, India. In total, 443 women took part in the study. BMI was computed, weight and height were recorded, and MSP at any site (i.e., neck, shoulders, upper back, upper arms, lower back, forearms, wrists, hip/buttocks, thighs, knees, lower legs, and ankles) was noted. The data were analyzed through correspondence analysis. Results Of the 443 women that participated in the study, 224 (50.6%) had MSP, and 9.3% and 28.2% were obese or overweight, respectively. Obese and overweight women were found to be at a higher risk of upper and lower back pain. Conclusion In our study, a significant relationship between MSP and BMI was confirmed and visualized by correspondence analysis.
