Incidence, prevalence, and disease burden of low back pain in China: data from the global burden of disease database.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Objective: This study aimed to estimate the incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of low back pain (LBP) in China by gender and age based on data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021. Methods: Joinpoint software was used to identify the turning points and significant changes ( Results: From 1990 to 2021, both incidence and prevalence rates of LBP were higher in women than in men. The incidence of LBP increased with age, and the number of affected individuals began to rise significantly starting in 1995. Conclusion: In light of the findings regarding the LBP burden in China, more efforts should be directed toward prevention and treatment for women and older adults. Furthermore, there is a need to further promote health awareness throughout the population.
