Driving the prevention of low back pain in police officers: A systematic review.
Review in Journal of military, veteran and family health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Introduction: Police officers spend a lot of time at work seated in a patrol car. Being seated for hours can cause low back pain (LBP) and is documented as sedentary behaviour, and the risk of work injuries related to LBP grows for police officers as a result of equipment and individual factors. This can result in an increase in health and safety costs for organizations and has a negative impact on quality of life. This systematic review 1) evaluated the risks associated with police patrolling while considering external factors that could influence a police officer's well-being and 2) identified solutions to improve posture while seated in vehicles and discerned preventive measures that can be implemented to alleviate LBP. Methods: A systematic review focused on LBP in police officers was conducted. PubMed, Scopus, Academic Search Complete, CINAHL, and Results: Of 1,169 articles initially identified, 104 met the criteria for full-text review. Twenty-one articles specifically discussed LBP in police officers, vehicle ergonomics, training programs, and health habits. Discussion: To minimize LBP, analyzing optimal positions for the mobile data terminal, raising awareness among police officers (civilian and military), offering preventive or corrective training programs for trunk musculature, having multidisciplinary teams in organizations, and participating in regular physical activity could have positive effects on preventing LBP.
