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

This study compares the mechanical response of the commonly used annulus fibrosus (AF) puncture injury model of the intervertebral disc (IVD) and a newly proposed AF failure at the endplate junction (delamination) on ex vivo bovine IVDs. Biocompatibility and mechanics of a newly developed repair strategy comprising of electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold and fibrin-genipin (FibGen) adhesive was tested on the delamination model. The study found no significant difference in the mechanical response to compressive loading between the two models. Primary goals of the repair strategy to create a tight seal on the damage area and restore mechanical properties, while showing minimal cytotoxicity, were broadly achieved. Postrepair, the IVDs showed a significant restoration of mechanical properties compared to the injured samples for the delamination model. The FibGen glue showed a limited toxicity in the AF and produced a resilient and mechanically stable seal on the damaged area.
