Review in Orthopadie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The intervertebral disc represents the flexible connection between two adjacent vertebral bodies. Intervertebral discs, therefore, give the spine its enormous range of motion. At the same time, intervertebral discs distribute the load evenly over the bony vertebral bodies to ensure load transfer from the upper body to the pelvis, provide sufficient stability, and absorb shocks during everyday movements as well as under extreme loads. The two tissue regions of the intervertebral disc, the central fluid-rich core (nucleus pulposus) and the lamellae of the outer fibrous ring (annulus fibrosus) experience different stresses under load and movement. This article summarizes current knowledge on the biomechanical properties of the intervertebral disc and explains how these are altered by degeneration and which surgical treatment options for degenerated and herniated discs are advisable from a biomechanical perspective.
