The correlation between low back pain intensity and sensorimotor function in postpartum women: an analytic cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 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
objectiveThis cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between postpartum low back pain (PLBP) intensity and postural control and proprioception in postpartum women.
designThis cross-sectional study included 51 women, with a mean of 60.67 ± 3.35 days postpartum. The researchers analyzed the association between PLBP (using a visual analog scale) and several factors, such as postural stability, average speed, path length (measured with a Biodex balance device and Zebris foot pressure), and lumbopelvic proprioception (assessed with a goniometer). Also, Pearson correlations and linear regressions were performed to evaluate the relationships between pain intensity and postural stability metrics.
resultsLinear regression analyses demonstrated that PLBP was a significant predictor of increased lumbopelvic proprioception error (β = 0.764 ; F = 68.57 ; p = 0.009), reduced static overall stability (β = 0.590; F = 25.62 ; p = 0.009), and impaired static anterior-posterior stability (β = 0.503; F = 16.63; p = 0.009). Besides, no significant associations were found between PLBP and static mediolateral stability or dynamic stability indices (p ≥ 0.05; β ≤ 0.350).
conclusionThis study showed that PLBP is strongly associated with impairment in proprioceptive receptors and postural stability, particularly in the anterior-posterior plane. Postpartum rehabilitation should include proprioceptive training to enhance postural control and reduce lumbopelvic pain. ETHICAL APPROVAL: IR.BASU.REC.1403.009.
