Development and evaluation of the musculoskeletal physical therapy registry in Iran: a step toward enhanced evidence-based practice.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionMusculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and injuries are among the leading causes of physical disability and chronic pain worldwide, imposing a significant burden on healthcare systems and economies. Effective management of these conditions relies on evidence-based physical therapy interventions, yet a lack of standardized, high-quality clinical data often limits informed decision-making. Developing a musculoskeletal physical therapy registry enables systematic data collection, assessment of treatment outcomes, and quality improvement in patient care. Therefore, this study aims to develop and evaluate the musculoskeletal physical therapy registry for Iran.
methodsThe present study was conducted in Iran from March 2023 to April 2024 in two phases. In the first phase, the RABIT web-based platform was used to create and develop the musculoskeletal physical therapy registry. In the second phase, the registry was evaluated by thirty-eight experts, and the Questionnaire of User Interaction Satisfaction (QUIS) questionnaire was used to assess the system's usability and user satisfaction.
resultsAfter creating and developing a musculoskeletal physical therapy registry in the RABIT web-based platform, the registry was evaluated by thirty-eight experts. The registry achieved an overall average score of 7.39 out of 9, indicating a good level of satisfaction among experts.
conclusionThe musculoskeletal physical therapy registry can help collect and store high-quality administrative and clinical data regarding disorders or conditions, evaluate the effectiveness of physical therapy interventions, and measure and improve patient outcomes. The data collected by the musculoskeletal physical therapy registry can help healthcare providers, managers, and decision-makers evaluate and make decisions related to improving the quality of physical therapy services and, ultimately, individuals' quality of life.
