Review in European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

purposeOssification of the spinal ligament (OSL) is a disease characterized by progressive ectopic ossification or calcification in the tissues of spinal ligament. The molecular pathogenesis of OSL has not been clearly elucidated. Recently, ncRNAs was found to functionally participate in OSL development. This review summarized current knowledge regarding the deregulation and function of ncRNAs in OSL

methodsRelevant studies on deregulation and function of ncRNAs in OSL were retrieved from the PubMed databases. Then, studies were manually selected for inclusion based on predefined criteria.

result14 studies were reviewed, with 4 studies about high throughput sequencing and microarray of ncRNAs, 8 studies relevant to the function of ncRNAs and 2 studies regarding the ncRNAs as the biomarker of OSL.

conclusionncRNA play a vital role in the ossification of spinal ligament fibrocyte, including cell osteogenesis and inflammation. ncRNAs also have potential clinical utilities as therapeutic targets, risk predication and early detection in the management of OSL. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE I: Diagnostic: individual cross-sectional studies with the consistently applied reference standard and blinding.
