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
backgroundExercise therapy is part of the core treatment of non-specific chronic low back pain (cLBP) and is usually first delivered under the supervision of a health care provider, then home-based. Adherence to home-based exercise therapy is a key contributor to clinical response. However, reproducible standardized measure of adherence is lacking and determinants of adherence, especially the role of supervision, have not been fully explored. We aimed: 1/ to report adherence to exercise therapy in adults with non-specific cLBP, 2/ to assess whether supervision could influence adherence, and 3/ to identify contributors to adherence.
methodsWe assessed adherence to exercise therapy in a sample of participants from the ComPaRe cLBP French e-cohort using the Exercise Adherence Rating Scale (EARS). Adherence to home-based exercise therapy was defined as a score ≥ 3/4 on the first item of the EARS. We compared modalities of supervision between adherent and non-adherent participants. Finally, we performed logistic regression to identify independent contributors to adherence.
findingsOverall, 491 adults with non-specific cLBP were included in the analysis. Adherence to home-based exercise therapy was 45%. Bivariate analysis showed that adherent participants more often received supervised sessions within the last 6 months. Multivariate analysis showed that higher levels of physical activity before the onset of cLBP, lower intensity of cLBP and lower burden of treatment were associated with a higher adherence to home-based exercise therapy (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 2.66 [1.77; 4.00], 1.01 [1.00; 1.02] and 0.95 [0.94; 0.96], respectively).
conclusionsWe found that 45% of adults with non-specific cLBP were adherent to home-based exercise therapy. We were unable to demonstrate a significant influence of supervision on adherence.
