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

STUDY

designVariation in the biomechanical characteristics of intervertebral discs adjacent to the segment disc after undergoing percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) in models with normal and abnormal bone mineral density (BMD) was estimated using the finite element method.

objectiveThe study investigated the change in the incidence of adjacent segment disease (ASD) after PTED in patients without and with osteoporosis. BACKGROUNDS: PTED has been widely used for treating lumbar disc herniation (LDH); changes in BMD will affect biomechanical characteristics, possibly leading to changes in the incidence of ASD after PTED. However, this issue remains largely unclear.

methodsA non-linear, lumbosacral finite element model was reconstructed based on imaging data and validated using compared values computed by the current model from published and well-validated, in vitro biomechanical experiment studies. Corresponding PTED models with normal and abnormal BMDs were also reconstructed. Shear and von Mises stresses on the annulus fibrosis, the von Mises stress on the endplates in L5-S1 segment discs, and the total deformation of current lumbosacral models were computed in different body positions by changing loading conditions, including flexion, extension, left and right lateral bending, and axial rotation.

resultsIn most loading conditions, biomechanical characteristics of the lumbosacral segment discs with normal BMDs after PTED slightly increased. However, in the PTED model with osteoporosis, most of the biomechanical characteristics dramatically increased.

conclusionOsteoporosis leads to the deterioration of biomechanical characteristics in the adjacent segment disc after PTED; this variation may also result in an increase in the incidence of ASD. However, further studies on the interactions between pathological changes are warranted.
