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

objectiveChronic lumbosacral radiculopathy (LSR) patients frequently complain of recurrent chronic lumbopelvic pain. The poor lumbopelvic (LP) control may be related to this chronic pain in LSR. We aimed to investigate the relation of sagittal LP control with pain sensitivity and intensity in chronic LSR females.

methodsThis study included forty females with chronic unilateral discogenic LSR (30-46 years old). Their low back pain intensity was 6.87±1.02 by visual analogue scale (VAS). The sagittal LP control and pain sensitivity and intensity were assessed for all patients using a pressure biofeedback unit during prone hip extension task, a digital pressure algometer applied at low back area and four sciatic valleix spots, and the VAS, respectively.

resultsA moderate significant negative relation was found between sagittal LP control and pain sensitivity at low back point (r = -0.48, p = 0.002). There was a moderate to strong significant negative relation between sagittal LP control and pain sensitivity at the different sciatic valleix spots. In addition, a strong positive correlation between poor sagittal LP control and pain intensity was found (r= 0.69, p < 0.001).

conclusionPoor lumbopelvic control may be highly related with pain sensitivity and intensity in chronic LSR females.
