Finite element comparison between the human and the ovine lumbar intervertebral disc.
Article in Muscles, ligaments and tendons journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionNowadays it is still not clear which loading conditions are responsible for lumbar intervertebral disc failure. Many studies have been conducted to investigate the effect of different loading conditions on the herniation processes, and many of them were based on the ovine model. However, the biomechanical similarities between the human and the ovine lumbar disc have been demonstrated in the main planes only, whereas it is not known if they are comparable under complex loading conditions too. The aim of this study was to compare the mechanical response of the ovine and the human lumbar intervetebral disc under complex loading conditions, in order to investigate differences and similarities between the species.The loading scenarios described in a finite element study on a human lumbar segment were applied to a model of the ovine disc, and the results were then compared.It has been shown that combined loads generated highest strains in both the models, and the maximum strains had the same location in the posterior or in the postero-lateral region of the annulus, according to the loading scenario.
conclusionThe ovine disc can be used in spinal research to investigate herniation process under any loading conditions. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: V.
