Comparing Movement Patterns and Physical Function Between Chronic Low Back Pain Patients With Nociplastic and Nociceptive Pain Categories.
Article in JOR spine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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: Individuals with chronic low back pain (LBP) often present with significant physical dysfunction. The underlying cause is difficult to diagnose due to the heterogeneous nature of LBP categories. Methods: Two hundred and fifty-six patients were assessed as having either nociceptive (NC) or nociplastic (NP) chronic low back pain using validated surveys, including the PainDETECT Questionnaire and a chronic overlapping pain condition screener. Additional covariates of anxiety, depression, and fear avoidance were evaluated using standard surveys. Physical function was judged objectively using a sit-to-stand test (STS; quantified using marker-less motion capture calculated kinematic scores and movement metrics) and subjectively (PROMIS-physical function survey). Demographics (age, sex, BMI), psychological factors, and biomechanical outcomes were compared across pain categories using nonparametric statistics and regression modeling. Results: Compared to the NC group, the NP group was significantly older (NP: 61.0 ± 21.0, NC: 53.5 ± 29.3, Conclusion: While individuals with nociplastic pain reported lower perceived physical function and exhibited differences in demographic and psychological factors, pain categories were not significant predictors of objective biomechanical measures after adjusting for age, sex, and BMI. However, pain category was a significant predictor of PROMIS-PF, suggesting that it is more closely associated with perceived functional limitations than with quantitative biomechanical performance.
