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

Background and Aims: To explore patterns of treatment response to pain neuroscience education combined with physical activity (PNE-PA) and to examine baseline characteristics associated with these patterns in older women with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Methods: In a community-based quasi-randomized trial, older women with CLBP were analyzed in a PNE-PA program ( Results: Compared with BM, PNE-PA produced larger adjusted improvements in chair-stand repetitions, daily step counts, and PCS scores; no significant between-group differences were observed for other outcomes. Three clusters were identified: minimal responders ( Conclusion: Older women with CLBP receiving PNE-PA showed heterogeneous changes in physical function and pain-related cognitions. Lower baseline mobility and higher catastrophizing were associated with larger domain-specific improvements, although these associations may partly reflect regression to the mean. Identifying baseline physical and psychological profiles may inform more targeted group-based programs for older adults with CLBP.
