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 is mainly caused by irregular matrix metabolism in nucleus pulposus cells and involves inflammatory factors such as TNF-α. Rosuvastatin, which is widely used in the clinic to reduce cholesterol levels, exerts anti-inflammatory effects, but whether rosuvastatin participates in IDD remains unclear. The current study aims to investigate the regulatory effect of rosuvastatin on IDD and the potential mechanism.
