Kinesiophobia and associated factors in postmenopausal osteoporosis: a controlled study.
Article in Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira (1992), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate kinesiophobia levels in patients with osteoporosis compared to healthy controls and investigate the associations with pain, depression, anxiety, fear of falling, and quality of life.
methodsThe study involved 60 postmenopausal osteoporosis patients and 60 healthy controls aged 50 years and above. Kinesiophobia was assessed using the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, while quality of life, psychological symptoms, and fear of falling were evaluated using the Quality of Life Questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and Tinetti Falls Efficacy Scale.
resultsKinesiophobia levels were significantly higher in the osteoporosis group compared to controls (p<0.05). Positive correlations were observed between kinesiophobia and Falls Efficacy Scale (r=0.278, p=0.002), as well as with Quality of Life Questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis physical function scores (r=0.185, p=0.043). No significant relationship was found between kinesiophobia and depression or anxiety scores.
conclusionKinesiophobia is notably higher in osteoporosis patients compared to healthy individuals, correlating with an increased fear of falling and reduced physical function. Early identification and management of kinesiophobia are essential to prevent reduced physical activity and associated risks, such as decreased bone mineral density and higher fracture risk.
