Increased adiposity and impaired sleep are associated with severity of greater trochanteric pain syndrome: a cross-sectional study.

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 investigate the feasibility and clinical validity of a digital anthropometric approach for body size and composition assessment in patients with greater trochanteric pain syndrome and to examine physical, sleep, and pain characteristics in different subgroups of patients. Methods: A convenience sample of 62 female patients was recruited. Administration of questionnaires, pain drawing analysis, evaluation of physical performance, body size and composition assessments were performed. Results: Pain intensity was significantly higher during evening (median value of 5) compared to both morning and afternoon (median values of 4). The median values of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) global score and of sleep duration were 9.0 and 6.0 h, respectively. The median values of body fat percentage and fat mass index were 35.2% and 9.4 kg/m Conclusion: Tendinopathic patients presented an impairment of sleep quality and quantity and an increased central adiposity that can be documented through clinimetric and body composition assessments.
