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
Objective: To analyze the current status and trends in the burden of musculoskeletal diseases in China from 1990 to 2023, providing evidence-based support for formulating and optimizing prevention and control strategies for musculoskeletal diseases in China. Methods: Based on the 2023 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study database, the study integrated incidence, prevalence, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and age-standardized rates of musculoskeletal diseases in the Chinese population from 1990 to 2023, stratified by gender and age. The proportional contribution to all-cause prevalence was calculated, and regression models were constructed using Joinpoint software to assess temporal trends. Results: In 2023, the five major musculoskeletal diseases collectively accounted for approximately 25.0% of all-cause prevalence in China. Among these, osteoarthritis contributed the most (11.68%), followed by low back pain (6.89%) and neck pain (3.52%). Gout (1.28%) and rheumatoid arthritis (0.36%) had relatively lower contributions. From 1990 to 2023, the overall burden of the five major musculoskeletal diseases remained substantial, with heterogeneous temporal patterns across diseases. Stratified by age and gender, the five diseases exhibited low levels during childhood and adolescence, increased significantly in middle and older adulthood, and peaked in the elderly. Except for gout, the burden of the other four diseases was higher in females than in males across most age groups. The scale of each disease varied considerably. Osteoarthritis showed the most significant increase in prevalence, with prevalent cases increasing from 53.7668 million to 161.7424 million, and the age-standardized DALYs rate rising by 16.19%. Gout showed the fastest growth in disease burden, with age-standardized DALYs rates rising from 19.88/100 000 to 25.14/100 000 (a 26.46% increase). Although low back pain showed a decline, it remained a major source of disability over the long term, with the age-standardized DALYs rate decreasing from 740.83/100 000 to 551.92/100 000 (a 25.49% decrease). Neck pain remained generally stable with a age-standardized DALYs rate increase of 1.18%. The age-standardized incidence rate of rheumatoid arthritis increased by 19.41%, and the age-standardized DALYs rate decreased by 8.38%. Conclusion: Over the past 30 years, the burden of musculoskeletal diseases in China has shown a persistent upward trend with significant gender and age disparities. Future prevention and control strategies should place greater emphasis on early identification and proactive interventions, advocating for more targeted comprehensive measures for high-risk populations. Concurrently, efforts must be made to enhance standardized diagnosis and treatment capabilities at the primary care level, alongside strengthening continuous rehabilitation management.
