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

Low back pain (LBP) is a leading cause of long-term disability globally. Intervertebral disk degeneration (IVDD) is mainly responsible for discogenic pain in LBP-affected young patients. There is no effective therapy to reverse disease severity and IVDD progression. This study investigates the effect of human peripheral blood-derived mononuclear cells (PBMCs) on pain relief and life quality improvement in IVDD patients. The enriched monocytes of the PBMCs could differentiate into CD14 and CD206 double-positive M2 macrophages
