Chronic non-specific low back pain influences mechanics during walking and transferring load among nurses.

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
backgroundThis study aimed to compare full-body biomechanical outcomes, during walking and 180° lateral transfer between healthy and chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP) nurses.
methodsA total of 26 female nurses (healthy group = 13 and CNLBP group = 13) with at least 2 years of work experience were recruited. Three-dimensional (3D) motion analyses of full-body kinematics and kinetics were captured during walking and 180° lateral load transfer. An independent
resultsThere were significant differences in biomechanical factors in the frontal plane during walking and 180° lateral transfer. The results indicate that those with CNLBP walk with more lumbar, hip, knee and ankle adduction, and lateral pelvic tilt at initial contact and maximum vertical ground reaction force (VGRF) in dominant compared to the healthy group. Moreover, those with CNLBP lifted the load with more lumbar and ankle abduction and less hip and knee abduction then dropped the load with more lumbar abduction and less hip and knee abduction with lateral pelvic tilt than the healthy group.
conclusionsNurses with CNLBP employed greater lumbar flexion during walking and greater abduction during 180° lateral transfer than healthy nurses. This motion caused the upper body to move toward the load and decreased the VGRF, thereby indirectly applying the narrow base transfer technique. Furthermore, an increase in lumbar flexion during walking among nurses with CNLBP was common, as a compensatory mechanism to avoid pain.
