Association between lumbar spine kinematics and falls in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis: a cross-sectional study.
Article in European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society, 2025.

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
purposeThe purpose of the present study was to quantitatively assess the characteristics of lumbar spine motor function in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) who experienced falls and to determine the association between falls and lumbar spine motion.
methodsThis cross-sectional study enrolled consecutive patients with clinically and radiologically defined LSS indicated for surgical treatment at a single center. The lumbar motion task consisted of bending forward to the maximum range of motion of the lumbar spine in the standing position, followed by a return to the upright position. The occurrence of falls in the past year was recorded. Binomial logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between falls and lumbar spine motion while using basic characteristics, general fall risk assessment, and known fall-related factors in patients with LSS as adjustment variables.
resultsA total of 102 participants were analyzed; 43 participants had a history of falls. Binomial logistic regression analysis showed that delayed lumbar spine motion was significantly associated with the occurrence of falls (odds ratio, 2.56; 95% confidence interval, 1.09-6.03).
conclusionThe results of this study suggest that delayed lumbar motion is an important factor associated with falls in patients with LSS.
