Application of Magnetic Resonance Diffusion Tensor Imaging in the Clinical Diagnosis of Disc Herniation after Lumbar Spine Injury.
Article in Journal of healthcare engineering, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging (DTI) provides a unique perspective on the pathophysiological and microstructural changes during spinal cord injury, with high spatial specificity; meanwhile, NM reflects the conduction and integrity of neuroelectrical signals in spinal cord fiber tracts, with time-specific and dynamic evaluation effects. The fractional anisotropy (FA) value, SEP amplitude, and neurological function score or improvement rate are correlated. The combination of DTI and NM can more reliably quantify the spinal cord function, evaluate the effectiveness of treatment, and determine the patient's prognosis, which can provide reference for clinical decision making and future research for SCI patients. That is, the lower the preoperative FA value and the lower the SEP amplitude, the worse the preoperative and postoperative neurological function, the lower the improvement rate, and the worse the prognosis of patients. Therefore, we believe that spinal cord function can be graded according to JOA scores to find the corresponding FA and SEP amplitude ranges and that, by measuring FA and SEP amplitude in the future, we can reverse the assessment of spinal cord function, expected postoperative improvement, and long-term prognosis. At the same time, FA values can also help determine the nature of the lesion to some extent.
