Regenerative therapy in geriatric patients with low back pain.
Review in Anesthesia and pain medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent and debilitating condition, particularly among older adults, with degenerative spinal disease being a major contributor. Regenerative therapy, which aims to repair and regenerate damaged spinal structures, has shown promise in providing long-term pain relief and functional improvement. This review focuses on the application and efficacy of regenerative therapies such as mesenchymal stem cells, platelet-rich plasma, and atelocollagen in older patients with LBP. Despite the potential benefits, there is a notable scarcity of studies specifically targeting the older population, and those available often have small sample sizes and limited age-related analyses. Our findings underscore the need for more comprehensive and well-designed clinical trials to evaluate the effectiveness of these therapies in older patients. Future research should prioritize larger age-specific studies to establish regenerative therapy as a viable and effective treatment option for LBP in the aging population.
