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 work aimed to explore the relationship between spine surgery lumbar facet joint (LFJ) and lumbar disc herniation (LDH) via compressed sensing algorithm-based MRI images to analyze the clinical symptoms of patients with residual neurological symptoms after LDH. Under weighted BM3D denoising, Epigraph method was introduced to establish the novel CSMRI reconstruction algorithm (BEMRI). 127 patients with LDH were taken as the research objects. The BEMRI algorithm was compared with others regarding peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index (SSIM). Patients' bilateral LFJ angles were compared. The relationships between LFJ angles, lumbar disc degeneration, and LFJ degeneration were analyzed. It turned out that the PSNR and SSIM of BEMRI algorithm were evidently superior to those of other algorithms. The proportion of patients with grade IV degeneration was at most 31.76%. Lumbar disc grading was positively correlated with change grading of LFJ degeneration (
