Risk Factors Associated With Low Back Pain in Bangladesh: A Cross-Sectional Study Conducted in 2023.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background and Aims: Low back pain (LBP) is a chronic health condition that reduces quality of life and imposes a burden on individuals, societies, and governments. It is a leading cause of physical disabilities and musculoskeletal disorders. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for LBP and associated physical disabilities. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 396 patients at the Center for the Rehabilitation of the Paralyzed (CRP) between April and August 2023. This study collected data on sociodemographic, occupational, and lifestyle-related factors, along with the severity of LBP, which was rated using a Likert scale (0-10). The severity of pain was categorized into four groups based on disability levels: low disability with low intensity, low disability with high intensity, high disability with moderately limiting intensity, and high disability with severely limiting intensity. Descriptive analysis was conducted to summarize background characteristics, and Results: The results showed that factors such as using soft pillows, physical inactivity, using soft leather chairs, and having a job that involves prolonged standing increased the risk of LBP and related disability. Conversely, factors that decrease the risk include younger age, lower education level, being unmarried, being a student, not having diabetes, no history of discomfort while sitting or trauma, absence of leisure time activities (hanging with friends), no job-related stress, and wearing light or medium-weight shoes. Conclusion: The study found a high prevalence of LBP among participants, and suggested the importance of implementing the necessary health precautions to address the risk factors that are associated with it.
