Assessment of kinesiophobia in ulcerative colitis: a case-control study highlighting functional and psychological implications.
Article in Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira (1992), 2026. 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
objectiveIdiopathic colitis is a chronic disorder, and the pain, fatigue, and anxiety associated with this condition may promote the evolution of kinesiophobia, a fear of movement that limits physical activity and worsens quality of life. However, this relationship has been understudied. Therefore, the aim of this research was to compare kinesiophobia scores in ulcerative colitis subjects to those in healthy controls.
methodsIn this case-control study, 106 subjects participated; 53 healthy participants were selected from private podiatry clinics; and 53 patients with ulcerative colitis were selected from the Virgen Macarena University Hospital and the Association of Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis Patients of Seville (ACCU) Seville association. Each participant received the abbreviated Spanish version of the Fear of Movement Scale, known as Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia.
resultsSubjects with ulcerative colitis had higher total Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia scores compared to healthy subjects (24.98 ± 8.01 vs. 21.94 ± 6.18; p=0.016). Moderate to severe kinesiophobia was present in 49.1% of the ulcerative colitis patients, compared with 30.2% in the control group. The ulcerative colitis group had a significantly higher percentage of participants with severe kinesiophobia (11.3 vs. 1.9%).
conclusionThese findings highlight the importance of early assessment of fear of movement to support interventions aimed at improving physical activity participation, functional capacity, and overall quality of life in this population.
