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

965 workers engaged in working tasks of work intensity grade 2, 3, 4 (based on Chinese National Standard) were investigated on the musculoskeletal disorders with a questionnaire. The lumbar vertebra of 136 randomly chosen workers were also radiologically examined. The result revealed that the prevalence of low-back disorders was 51.2% on average and it was obviously correlated with such factors as age, standing, previous back injury, education level, sport activity, work intensity, working posture, satisfaction with the tools as well as work condition and house work. Heavy work load and unneutral working posture were proved to be the main factors as revealed by the multifactor analysis and further supported by the findings of X-ray examination.
