Finite Element Analysis of Stress Distribution and Range of Motion in Discogenic Back Pain.
Article in Neurospine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
objectivePrecise knowledge regarding the mechanical stress applied to the intervertebral disc following each individual spine motion enables physicians and patients to understand how people with discogenic back pain should be guided in their exercises and which spine motions to specifically avoid. We created an intervertebral disc degeneration model and conducted a finite element (FE) analysis of loaded stresses following each spinal posture or motion.
methodsA 3-dimensional FE model of intervertebral disc degeneration at L4-5 was constructed. The intervertebral disc degeneration model was created according to the modified Dallas discogram scale. The von Mises stress and range of motion (ROM) regarding the intervertebral discs and the endplates were analyzed.
resultsWe observed that mechanical stresses loaded onto the intervertebral discs were similar during flexion, extension, and lateral bending, which were greater than those occurring during torsion. Based on the comparison among the grades divided by the modified Dallas discogram scale, the mechanical stress during extension was greater in grades 3-5 than it was during the others. During extension, the mechanical stress loaded onto the intervertebral disc and endplate was greatest in the posterior portion. Mechanical stresses loaded onto the intervertebral disc were greater in grades 3-5 compared to those in grades 0-2.
conclusionOur findings suggest that it might be beneficial for patients experiencing discogenic back pain to maintain a neutral posture in their lumbar spine when engaging in daily activities and exercises, especially those suffering from significant intravertebral disc degeneration.
