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 Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common public health, economic, and social problems worldwide. LBP has been reported to be more prevalent in nonworking populations than in working populations among both men and women. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of LBP among nonworking women in the Eastern region of Saudi Arabia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Eastern region of Saudi Arabia from October to November 2023 using an online questionnaire. Results A total of 390 eligible participants were included. The prevalence of LBP among nonworking women was 92.1%. Age was the only factor significantly associated with LBP (p = 0.034). Other factors showed no significant association, including education level (p = 0.954), marital status (p = 0.061), socioeconomic status (p = 0.305), number of children (p = 1.000), pregnancy status (p = 0.135), smoking (p = 0.576), frequency of exercise (p = 0.118), and body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.096). Additionally, most participants (76%) reported that LBP never prevented them from performing their usual daily activities. Conclusion This study demonstrates a high prevalence of LBP among nonworking women, with age identified as the only significant associated factor. Despite this high prevalence, LBP did not appear to substantially interfere with participants' ability to perform their usual daily activities.
