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.

Abstract

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is one of the most common chronic musculoskeletal disorders worldwide. Guidelines recommend exercise therapy (ET) in CLBP management, but more research is needed to investigate specific ET modalities and their underlying mechanisms. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the short-term and long-term effectiveness of a time-contingent individualised high-intensity training (HIT) protocol on disability compared with a time-contingent moderate-intensity training (MIT) as used in usual care, in persons with severely disabling CLBP. Additionally, the effectiveness on central effects, the added value of prolonged training at home and technology support, and the cost-effectiveness are evaluated. In this randomised controlled trial, CLBP patients will be randomly divided into three groups of 56 participants. Group 1, 'TechnoHIT', receives HIT with technology-support in the home-phase. Group 2, 'HIT', receives HIT without technology support. Group 3, 'MIT', receives MIT, reflecting training intensity as used in usual care. The primary outcome is patient-reported disability, measured by the Modified Oswestry Disability Index. Secondary outcomes include quantitative sensory testing, psychosocial factors, broad physical fitness, quality of life, cost-effectiveness, adherence and usability of technology. Trial registration number NCT06491121.
