Prevalence of Low Back Pain in Competitive Dressage Riders: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of chiropractic medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: The purpose of this study was to identify the point and lifetime prevalence of low back pain (LBP) among dressage riders and identify riding-related variables that may precipitate LBP. Methods: A cross-sectional, exploratory, quantitative study was conducted using an online questionnaire. One hundred dressage riders competing at preliminary and higher levels were recruited at the South African Equestrian Federation's registered shows. Frequencies and descriptive statistics were performed on each question in addition to cross-tabulations for associations between variables or differences between riding practices and experiences. Results: Participants were between the ages of 18 and 66 years. The questionnaire identified that 71% of participants reported point prevalence of LBP and 56% reported lifetime prevalence of LBP. Spearman ρ correlations showed positive correlations between how often participants believed their LBP was horse riding-related and how often they experienced LBP while competing/riding (r[75] = 0.46, Conclusion: This study reports point and lifetime prevalence of LBP among competitive dressage riders in South Africa. Training/riding-specific horse gaits were associated with LBP in dressage riders.
