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

objectiveThe purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between low back pain (LBP) and trunk endurance (TE) in a United States Veteran population.

methodsData were collected from the Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Healthcare System electronic health records (01/2019-12/2019) to identify adults aged 18-89 years presenting with nonsurgical LBP for a chiropractic consultation. Coefficient estimates, standard error, and P-values were calculated from multivariable linear regression for primary (LBP severity) and secondary (functional disability) outcomes, controlling for age, sex, and body composition.

resultsA total of 85 patients (mean age 53.6 years) were included. Trunk endurance was significantly associated with LBP severity (β: -0.042, P < .001) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores (β: -0.334, P < .001) suggesting that participants with greater TE (ie, longer prone bridge (plank) test time) had lower LBP severity and lower functional disability than those with poorer TE.

conclusionIn this sample of Veterans, higher LBP severity and greater functional disability (ODI scores) were associated with reduced TE. Body mass index did not significantly influence these relationships.
