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

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a degenerative musculoskeletal disorder with multiple causative factors, such as age, genetics, mechanics and life style. IVDD contributes to non-specific lower back pain (NLBP), which is a globally prevalent and debilitating musculoskeletal disorder. NLBP has a substantial impact on medical resources and creates an economic burden for the public. Dysregulated phenotypes of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells and endplate chondrocytes, such as proliferation, senescence and apoptosis, along with aberrant expression of extracellular matrix components, including type II collagen and aggrecan, are involved in the pathological process of IVDD. Evidence indicates that non-coding RNAs, mainly microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs), play a vital role in the development of IVDD. In the present review, the potential molecular mechanisms of miRNAs, lncRNAs and circRNAs in the initiation and progression of IVDD were described based on the latest literature. Furthermore, ways to influence the functions of NP cells and endplate chondrocytes in IVDD were also summarized. The presented insights suggested that non-coding RNAs may function as potential targets for the treatment of IVDD.
