Associations Between Type-Specific Sedentary Behaviour and Low Back Pain: Evidence From a Large-Scale Cohort Study.
Article in Musculoskeletal care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the association between different types of sedentary behaviour and the risk of low back pain (LBP) and LBP intensity.
methodsData were obtained from a large-scale cohort survey of Koreans comprising 2742 participants. Sedentary behaviours-namely, TV viewing (TV-ST), squatting (Squat-ST), and floor (Floor-ST) sitting-were categorised into three groups (< 2 h, 2-4 h, and ≥ 4 h). LBP was evaluated using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and a visual analogue scale (VAS). Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to calculate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), and multiple linear regression analyses were used to estimate β coefficients with 95% CI.
resultsFor TV-ST, after adjusting for all confounding variables, participants watching TV for 2-4 h and ≥ 4 h exhibited LBP risk ORs of 1.23 (OR = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.01-1.50) and 1.44 (OR = 1.44, 95% CI = 1.14-1.82), respectively, compared with those watching TV for less than 2 h. Similar results were observed for Squat-ST, with an OR of 1.83 (95% CI: 1.33-2.56) for 2-4 h and an OR of 4.14 (95% CI: 1.96-8.72) for ≥ 4 h. Furthermore, distinct associations were observed between sedentary behaviour types and LBP severity as measured by VAS and ODI scores.
conclusionThese findings highlight the critical role of specific sedentary behaviours in the development and severity of LBP, underscoring the need for targeted interventions in its prevention and management.
