The Evidence-Based Application of Spinal-Hip Biomechanics Research Among Saudi Physiotherapists: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Cureus, 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
Background and objective Evidence-based practice (EBP) in Saudi Arabia remains underexplored, particularly in physiotherapy. While recent studies have acknowledged its significance, limited attention has been paid to the integration of contemporary spinal biomechanics research into clinical practice. It also remains unclear whether physiotherapy practitioners in Saudi Arabia are effectively applying emerging insights on spinal-hip biomechanics, despite their potential to improve rehabilitation outcomes. This study, therefore, sought to assess physiotherapists' perceptions of spinal-hip biomechanics research, evaluate its use in clinical settings, and identify barriers to its adoption in Saudi Arabia. Methods A self-administered, cross-sectional, questionnaire-based survey was conducted. The instrument consisted of 23 items organized across seven sections and was distributed to physiotherapy practitioners across 13 regions in Saudi Arabia. A total of 64 physiotherapists participated. Recruitment and survey promotion were facilitated through social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter) and WhatsApp
