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

Modern molecular techniques have highlighted the presence of inflammation throughout the spectrum of tendinopathy. Previous studies have suggested that excessive inflammation in the tendon is a major factor leading to poor clinical treatment. Furthermore, the NLRP3 inflammasome, as a new term, is closely associated with the pathogenesis of many diseases. In the present study, we examined whether the NLRP3 inflammasome contributes to the development of tendinitis and whether cyclic stretching plays a prominent role in inflammation in the tendon. In the present study, we showed that hydrogen peroxide (H
