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

Minimally invasive biodegradable implants with regeneration have been a frontier trend in clinic. Degeneration of nucleus pulposus (NP) is irreversible in most of spine diseases, and traditional spinal fusion or discectomy usually injure adjacent segments. Here, an innovative minimally invasive biodegradable NP scaffold with function regeneration inspired by cucumber tendril is developed using shape memory polymer poly(glycerol-dodecanoate) (PGD), whose mechanical property is controlled to the similar with human NP by adjusting synthetic parameters. The chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) is immobilized to the scaffold recruiting autologous stem cells from peripheral tissue, which has better ability of maintaining disc height, recruiting autologous stem cells, and inducing regeneration of NP in vivo compared to PGD without chemokine group and hydrogel groups significantly. It provides an innovative way to design minimally invasive implants with biodegradation and functional recovery, especially for irreversible tissue injury, including NP, cartilage and so on.
