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
Individualized exercise therapy is crucial for effective postoperative rehabilitation. However, a widely accepted, standardized framework for measuring individual exercise capabilities after lumbar spine surgery (LSS) is lacking. This study aimed to develop a novel Exercise Rehabilitation Functional Group (ERFG) classification system to enable systematic, individualized rehabilitation after LSS. Eight exercise parameters and two clinical factors were assessed in 428 volunteers within 12 weeks of single-segment LSS to establish reference data for the ERFG. The study cohort included 411 participants (mean age 67.10 ± 11.60; 128 males and 283 females) with an average postoperative interval of 42.96 ± 20.25 days. Key metrics included lumbar spine ROM (mean 74.24 ± 25.30°), trunk muscle strength (mean 15.71 ± 5.14 kg), trunk muscle endurance (mean 95.80 ± 35.66 s), whole-body flexibility (mean 3.30 ± 10.65 cm), cardiopulmonary capability (mean 433.91 ± 118.75 m), gait with affected single leg (mean 36.26 ± 5.98%), single-leg balance (median 13.60 s), coordination capability (mean 8.21 ± 3.23 s), EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level score (mean 9.39 ± 4.17), and visual analog scale for low back pain (mean 3.78 ± 2.55). Data were categorized into five grades using Cajori's five-grade mathematical method. Significant correlations were observed between the eight exercise parameters and two clinical factors. This study established a foundational framework for standardizing baseline exercise capabilities after LSS. This ERFG system may provide a basis for individualized rehabilitation strategies to enhance patient outcomes.
