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
purposeThis study aimed to assess the current status of kinesiophobia in patients following lumbar spine surgery, categorize patients based on the latent characteristics of their kinesiophobia, and explore the influencing factors across different subgroups.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted between August 2024 and March 2025 in two general hospitals in Jingzhou, China. Participants completed a demographic questionnaire, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), and Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS). Latent profile analysis (LPA) identified kinesiophobia subgroups, and univariate logistic regression explored associated factors.
resultsA total of 324 patients were included. LPA revealed three distinct kinesiophobia profiles: low-level (38.5%), moderate-level (41.0%), and high-level (20.3%). Compared with the high-level group, the low-level group was associated with lower educational attainment, stronger self-care ability, normal Body Mass Index (BMI), and higher self-efficacy. The moderate-level group was linked to lower education, abnormal BMI, lower self-efficacy, and greater pain catastrophizing.
conclusionKinesiophobia after lumbar spine surgery presents with significant heterogeneity. Educational level, BMI, self-efficacy, self-care ability, and pain-related cognition are key influencing factors. Recognizing different subtypes may assist clinicians in developing targeted interventions to alleviate kinesiophobia and support postoperative recovery.
