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

An objective method to evaluate patient suitability for cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for chronic low back pain (LBP) is currently lacking. Inappropriate application can result in prolonged hospital visits and increased medical costs. Therefore, identifying an objective biomarker for evaluating suitability is crucial. This study focused on electroencephalogram (EEG) complexity as a potential biomarker for evaluating CBT suitability for chronic LBP, assessing its discriminative ability and identifying factors that impede treatment. Complexity was analyzed as multiscale fuzzy sample entropy (MFSE). Fifty patients with suspected psychosocial factors causing LBP along with 20 healthy volunteers were included. The analysis included 25 responders and 25 non-responders for CBT. MFSE showed significant effects of scale factor [F(19,171) = 14.82, p < 0.01, partial η
