Traction therapy in lumbar disc hernias: A finite element analysis study.
Article in Joint diseases and related surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesThis study aims to evaluate the results of lumbar traction treatment at different traction angles and different traction forces using the finite element analysis (FEA). MATERIALS AND
methodsComputed tomography (CT) images of a healthy 35-year-old male patient who had no history of trauma or fracture were modeled in three-dimensional (3D) with Mimics® software for the lumbosacral spine model. Ligaments and discs were created on the 3D spine model in the SolidWorks® program. The obtained model was sent to the ANSYS version 18 software, and analyses were done non-linearly. All analyses were performed at different angles and forces from the center of the sacral surface to simulate traction therapy.
resultsTraction forces applied in the 0° axial direction decreased the intradiscal pressures by creating a similar tensile stress in the annulus fibrosus regions (anterior, posterior, and lateral) without any significant change in lordotic angle.
conclusionThe method used in this study is promising to investigate the benefits of traction therapy. Moreover, individual traction force and direction can be determined to increase the effectiveness of the treatment by using magnetic resonance imaging or CT images in traction therapy.
