1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To translate the Örebro Musculoskeletal Pain Screening Questionnaire (ÖMPSQ) into Urdu and to determine the psychometric properties of its Urdu version.

methodsThis cross-sectional study recruited 300 participants (18-60 years) with non-specific low back pain (NSLBP), who were able to read Urdu. Test-retest reliability was assessed using intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), and reproducibility through Cronbach's α. Face and content validity were examined via individual interviews, and construct validity by correlating with relevant reference standards. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) & confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was also carried out.

resultsÖMPSQ was successfully translated into Urdu version with acceptable face and content validity. ÖMPSQ Urdu version showed acceptable internal consistency (α=0.789) & good test-retest reliability (ICC=0.784, 95% confidence interval, p<0.001) while good correlation was demonstrated between ÖMPSQ and Chronic Pain Grade Scale (pain and disability subscales i.e., r=0.809 and 0.807, respectively). However, Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire showed moderate correlation (r=0.513). Additionally, no significant floor or ceiling effects were observed in the ÖMPSQ Urdu version. EFA revealed a five-factor solution using twenty items, 89.21% was the total item variance in the database, while CFA demonstrated good model fit with strong factor loadings and acceptable fit indices. Conclusion: The ÖMPSQ Urdu version is valid and reliable for assessing the risk of long-term disability & workplace absence in NSLBP patients.
