1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: The chronic low back pain (cLBP) literature rarely includes comprehensive characterization of demographic and biomedical factors in a large sample of individuals. The University of Pittsburgh Mechanistic Research Center, entitled, "Low Back Pain: Biological, Biomechanical, Behavioral Phenotypes (LB Methods: The key eligibility criteria were adults with cLBP, English speakers, and identified in the electronic health record of our medical center. Recruitment strategies were through clinical partners who invited their patients to join the study and research registries. Participants completed demographic and biomedical surveys. Descriptive statistics were computed for the sample overall, and for the subgroups (male/female and age < 60/≥ 60). Results: Conclusions: Describing comprehensive demographic and biomedical characteristics of individuals with cLBP stratified by sex and age will serve as a reference for clinicians and research planning, particularly with respect to comorbid conditions and utilization of treatment for cLBP. These data will be useful in future efforts to comprehensively phenotype cLBP.
