Calling for more public health resources for women: findings from the burden of low back pain in China.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: To reveal the burden and progression of low back pain in China from perspectives such as gender and age using data from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 (GBD 2019). Methods: The data we used are all from the Global Burden of Disease dataset. We calculated Annual Percentage Change (APC) and Average Annual Percentage Change (AAPC) from 1990 to 2019 by Joinpoint regression analysis. Meanwhile, the independent effects of age, period and cohort were estimated using Age-Period-Cohort analysis. Autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model was used to predict the trend of LBP prevalence in the next decade. Results: From 1990 to 2019, age-standardized prevalence rates (ASPR) and incidence rates (ASIR) of low back pain in China declined significantly, yet the total prevalence and incidence continued to rise, with higher rates in women. And we predict it will continue to rise in the next decade. Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs), Years Lived with Disability (YLDs) were consistently higher in women, while age-standardized YLDs and DALYs rates decreased, though total YLDs and DALYs continued to rise. Conclusion: Low back pain is a substantial public health burden in China. Notably, women face a higher risk and warrant special attention.
