Correlation between the HIF-1α/Notch signaling pathway and Modic changes in nucleus pulposus cells isolated from patients with low back pain.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundThe HIF-1α/Notch signaling pathway regulates cell proliferation, apoptosis, and metabolism in the intervertebral discs (IVDs) and is implicated in disc degeneration. The nucleus pulposus (NP) is an important structure adjacent to the IVDs. However, the role of the HIF-1α/Notch signaling pathway in NP cells obtained from patients with different Modic changes (MCs) remains unclear. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of HIF-1α and components of the Notch pathway in the NP obtained from patients with various MCs.
methodsA total of 85 NP tissue samples were collected from patients undergoing diskectomy for the treatment of low back pain. The NP tissues were divided into four groups based on the adjacent endplate degeneration, namely, MC I, II, III, and negative MC groups. The expression of HIF-1α and Notch-related components was measured and compared.
resultsThe expression of HIF-1α, Notch1, and Notch2 was gradually increased in the MC I and MC II groups compared with that in the negative MC group. HIF-1α and Notch-related components were rarely detected in the MC III group.
conclusionsThe expression of HIF-1α/Notch increased in the NP cells of patients with MC I and MC II. HIF-1α and Notch-related components are potential biomarkers and the HIF-1α/Notch signaling pathway may serve as a promising therapeutic target for disc degeneration in patients with MCs.
