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
Introduction: Health-science students frequently experience low back pain (LBP), influenced by stress, academic demands, and sedentary lifestyles. This study investigated associations between pain intensity, subjective disability, psychological factors (perceived stress and anxiety), LBP-related knowledge, daily sitting hours, and weekly sports participation in health-sciences students. It further examines the link between psychological factors and nonspecific LBP among Hungarian health-science students. Methods: In total, 172 students (155 women, 17 men, age: 20.33 ± 1.47, Body Mass Index (BMI): 22.32 ± 3.64) participated in the study. 111 subjects (103 women, 8 men, age: 20.52 ± 1.50, Body Mass Index (BMI): 22.48 ± 3.66) had low back pain (LBP group), and 61 subjects (52 women, 9 men, age: 19.97 ± 1.34, BMI: 22.01 ± 3.61) did not (non-LBP group). The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), daily sitting hours, weekly sports participation, and Low Back Knowledge Questionnaire (LKQ) were assessed and analyzed as LBP-associated factors. Results: Stress level of the LBP group indicates high perceived stress (PSS: Discussion: This study found a significant association between trait anxiety and personal experiences of LBP in Hungarian health science students. No link was found between LBP and daily sitting hours or sports participation. Given the high prevalence of stress and anxiety among future healthcare professionals and their established link to LBP, health science curricula should include comprehensive education on the psychosocial aspects of LBP.
