Title	Injection therapy for subacute and chronic low-back pain
Published in	Cochrane database of systematic reviews, July 2008
DOI	10.1002/14651858.cd001824.pub3
Pubmed ID	18646078
Authors	J Bart Staal, Rob de Bie, Henrica CW de Vet, Jan Hildebrandt, Patty Nelemans
Abstract	The effectiveness of injection therapy for low-back pain is still debatable. Heterogeneity of target tissue, pharmacological agent and dosage generally found in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) points to the need for clinically valid comparisons in a literature synthesis.

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 43. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 31 March 2022.

All research outputs

#843,316

of 23,342,092 outputs

Outputs from Cochrane database of systematic reviews

#1,808

of 12,632 outputs

Outputs of similar age

#1,636

of 82,137 outputs

Outputs of similar age from Cochrane database of systematic reviews

of 66 outputs

Altmetric has tracked 23,342,092 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 96th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.

So far Altmetric has tracked 12,632 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 32.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its peers.

Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 82,137 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.

We're also able to compare this research output to 66 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
