Recovery indicators from the perspective of patients with chronic low back pain: a cross-sectional survey.
Article in Pain management, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimsIn low back pain (LBP) research, recovery is commonly used as an outcome measure. However, there is no method used to measure recovery or acceptable definition for recovery. This research aims to investigate patients' perceptions of recovery from LBP. MATERIALS &
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted in which 350 patients with chronic LBP participated. Demographic and clinical information was collected by a comprehensive and inclusive questionnaire. A checklist of improvement indicators was given to the patients and completed by them. It was aimed to identify the most important criteria for recovery in patients with chronic LBP.
resultsThe results showed that pain reduction alone is not a reliable indicator of recovery. The patients' view about the recovery from chronic LBP includes a wide range of factors in different areas of symptomatic improvement, fear of recurrence injury, functional disability, fatigue and reduced energy level. Also, a significant correlation was observed between recovery indicators and pain duration, body mass index, and pain intensity in patients with chronic LBP.
conclusionsThe framework of recovery for patients with chronic LBP is complicated and is a highly individual structure. It is determined by the impact of symptoms on activities of daily living factors.
