Back morphology and walking patterns mean 13.8 years after surgery for lumbar disk herniation in adolescents.

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: In many pain conditions, there is lingering pain despite healed tissue damage. Our previous study shows that individuals who underwent surgery for lumbar disk herniation (LDH) during adolescence have worse health, more pain, and increased disk degeneration mean 13 years after surgery compared with controls. It is unclear if walking patterns segregate surgically treated LDH adolescents and controls at mean 13-year follow-up. Objectives: Here, we analyzed the relationship between gait, back morphology and other health outcomes in a cohort of individuals treated surgically because of lumbar disk herniation compared with controls. Methods: We analyzed gait during a walking paradigm, back morphology at the site of surgery, and standardized health outcomes, among individuals who received surgery for LDH as adolescents, "cases" (n = 23), compared with "controls" (n = 23). Results: There were gait differences in head ( Conclusion: Over a decade after surgery for LDH during adolescence, health among cases is worse compared with controls. The head and trunk angles differ between cases and controls, indicating that the residual pain lingers and may cause changes in movement patterns long after a painful episode in early life. Gait may be a useful target for understanding maintenance of pain and disability among individuals treated surgically for LDH during adolescence.
