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: In healthy, nonelderly populations, prevalence of 3 modifiers of global spinal malalignment (GS-MalAlign) (PT ≧20°, PI-LL≧10°, SVA≧40 mm) remains unknown. The clinical significance has not been determined. The purposes are to disclose the prevalence of the 3 modifiers of GS-MalAlign, and evaluate the influence on LBP, and HR-QOL related to bone mineral density (BMD), skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), and back muscle extensors strength (BMES) in a healthy, nonelderly population. Methods: A mono-centric, cross-sectional survey. Three hundred and 2 participants (18< age <65 years) without ADL disturbance were consecutively enrolled. Sagittal parameters of the spine and the pelvis were measure on whole spine radiograms. BMD and SMI were determined using DEXA. BMES was defined as a maximum extension force at the T4 to T7 level and measured by a strain-gauge dynamotor. LBP was checked through interview. HR-QOL was ascertained by score of Medical Outcome Study Short-Form 36-Health Survey (SF-36v2). Results: The final analysis could be done in 84 females and 179 males. PT≧20°, PI-LL≧10°, and SVA≧40 mm were found in 12% (31/263), 11% (31/263), and 6% (16/263), and each mean value was 25.0 ± 4.0°, 15.3 ± 5.9°, and 52.7 ± 12.2 mm (Mean ± S.D.). Prevalence of LBP was significantly higher in the participants with PI-LL≧10° than with PI-LL<10°; 43% (12/28) versus 21% (49/235) (p<.05). PI-LL≧10° only had an association with LBP (OR: 3.0435, 95% CI, 1.1378-8.141, p<.05). Four 2% of participants (4/263) associated with all 3 modifiers had LBP and a significantly lower mental component summary score of SF-36v2 (p<.05). Conclusions: Some of individuals are associated with GS-MalAlign even in healthy, nonelderly populations. There is a possibility that PI-LL ≧10° results in LBP within a degree of no ADL disturbance, and it is speculated that coexistence of all 3 modifiers of GS-MalAlign would lead to a poor mental HR-QOL.
