Burden of low-back pain disease caused by occupational ergonomic factors in China from 1990 to 2021 and forecast for 2035: a systematic analysis and comparison with global trends.

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
backgroundLow-Back Pain (LBP) caused by Occupational Ergonomic Factors (OEF) is a major contributor to Years Lived with Disability (YLD) in China. Understanding the burden trends of OEF on LBP is crucial for effective management and prevention strategies. However, comprehensive analyses in this area are lacking in China.
objectiveTo evaluate and forecast the burden trends of OEF-induced LBP in China and compare them with global trends.
methodsData were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021. We used Joinpoint models and Age-Period-Cohort analyses to compare and analyze the temporal trends of OEF-induced LBP burden in China and globally.
resultsFrom 1990 to 2021, although the reported YLDs due to OEF-induced LBP increased in both global and Chinese populations, the Age-Standardized YLD Rate (ASYR) due to OEF-induced LBP showed a decrease over the same period with average annual percentage changes of -0.68 (95% CI: -0.72, -0.63) and - 1.48 (95% CI: -1.56, -1.40) globally and in China, respectively. The burden of ASYR due to OEF-induced LBP in China was primarily among females aged 50-54. By 2035, it is anticipated that the number of YLDs due to OEF-induced LBP will significantly increase in both China and globally, while the global ASYR due to OEF-induced LBP is projected to decrease over the next 14 years, in contrast to the rising trend in China.
conclusionThe burden of YLDs and ASYR due to OEF-induced LBP in China is primarily among middle-aged individuals, especially females. This underscores the need for stringent implementation of effective LBP prevention strategies in China, particularly targeting middle-aged women with significant transformative potential.
