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

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare health-related outcomes between individuals with low back pain (LBP) who received their preferred treatments and those who received non-preferred treatments. Methods: A non-randomized, multicenter, comparative study was conducted. Patients with chronic LBP (duration >3 months) were recruited from military hospitals in Jordan. The LBP Treatment Beliefs Questionnaire (TBQ) was used to determine participants' treatment preferences across five treatment options. Baseline assessments of all outcome measures were compared with post-treatment assessments using multivariate and univariate analyses of variance. Results: A total of 205 participants completed the study with a mean age of 42.6 (±12.9). According to TBQ, 131 participants (63.9%) received their preferred treatment. Compared with the non-preferred group, the preferred group demonstrated a statistically significant ( Conclusion: Incorporating patients' treatment preferences into treatment plans may positively influence pain, functional outcomes, and psychological wellbeing.
