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

Background and Objective: Low back pain is one of the most common work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Healthcare workers are prone to low back pain because of the nature of their profession. Low back pain may be related to lumbar multifidi atrophy or instability and poor core stability. Core stability can be assessed using the unilateral hip bridge endurance test. This cross-sectional study aims to determine the correlation between unilateral hip bridge endurance (UHBE) and sonologic characteristics of the bilateral L4-L5 lumbar multifidus muscles of physically active allied healthcare professionals. Methods: Forty (40) physically active healthcare professionals (mean age = 31.3 ± 6.39 years, mean height = 161.17 ± 8.45 cm, mean weight = 61.88 ± 13.58 kg, mean BMI = 23.61 ± 3.68 kg/m Results: There was no statistically significant correlation between Lumbar Multifidi CSA and UHBE Scores ( Conclusion: There is no definite evidence showing a correlation between core stability tests such as the unilateral hip bridge test scores and sonologic characteristics of the lumbar multifidi. However, lumbar multifidi symmetry may have a role with core stability. The correlation between core stability tests and lumbar multifidus morphology should be further investigated.
