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

Purpose: This study intended to evaluate the effects of Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) on Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS). FBSS refers to symptoms and disabilities which remain or occur after lumbar spinal surgery. Prevalent treatments for FBSS are based mostly on conservative management while LLLT has gained significant interest in the treatment of a wide variety of musculoskeletal disorders. Methods: In the present study, the authors included 50 individuals with FBSS. Target points were determined by an ultrasonic study including bilateral L Results: NRS and ODI were significantly improved after treatment, as well as therapeutic effects, after 1 month and 6 months were also evident and comparison of the NRS and ODI showed significant difference. Conclusion: LLLT has a positive impact on pain and disability in patients with FBSS.
