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

Objective: To investigate the technical feasibility of applying a simple suture guide device to close the annulus fibrosus (AF) of the intervertebral discs (IVD). Methods: 30 sheep functional discal units (FDUs) were obtained and subjected to mock discectomy. Mock sutures were performed using 3-0 non-absorbable sutures under a novel AF suture device following a suture procedure. The FDUs were compressed under axial loading at 1.8 mm/min and evaluated for Failure load (N). Results: The failure loads of the hand stitching group (Group H) and suture device stitching group (Group S) were significantly higher than those of the control group (Group C) ( Conclusion: This study provides reasonable reasons to believe that the simple suture guide device described here is technically feasible for AF defect closure. It thus constitutes an encouraging proof of concept for the proposed device; however, it does not constitute a complete demonstration of the device's feasibility in the clinical setting considering that the annulus closure operation is performed
