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

Improving the closure effect of surgical suture for repair of annulus fibrosus defects remains an unsolved problem. A new type of porcine fibrin glue was reported for the repair of annulus fibrous defects in sheep models in this study. Continuous axial loading test showed that this glue could effectively improve the closure effect of surgical suture for annulus fibrous defect. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lumbar spine confirmed that, compared with non-fibrin glue treated intervertebral discs, it contributed to preservation of the nucleus pulposus and maintained the physiological hydration of the intervertebral discs. Moreover, histomorphology evaluation showed that the porcine fibrin glue could partially reverse degeneration of the injured intervertebral discs. Taken together, porcine fibrin glue can effectively enhance the closure effect of surgical suture on annulus fibrosus, improve the repair effect and slow down the degeneration of the intervertebral disc, and provide a potential therapeutic strategy for degenerative intervertebral disc disease.
