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 present study explored the experiences of working individuals with low back pain regarding self-management, fear of movement and pain during a 12-month follow-up period after receiving either direct access (DA) or conventional physical therapy. Patients and Methods: Data were collected through electronic questionnaires containing open-ended questions on physical therapy, fear of movement and pain. These were administered at baseline (after the initial physical therapy visit) and at 3-, 6-, and 12- month follow-ups. Participants were clients from real-life clinical settings in primary care or emergency departments. Fifteen participants completed all follow-ups; ten from DA and five from conventional physical therapy. Results: Two distinct client types emerged: the Conclusion: The findings underscore the individualized nature of self-management, fear of movement and pain experiences over 12 months follow-up. While personal strategies varied, guidance from physical therapist appeared instrumental in supporting the adoption of an active pilot-like role in recovery.
