Lipid Alterations in Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain in the Chinese Population: A Metabolomic and Lipidomic Study.
Article in Bioengineering (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Chronic nonspecific low back pain (cNLBP) accounts for approximately 90% of low back pain cases, affecting 65-80% of the population and significantly impacting life quality and productivity. This condition also leads to substantial financial burden. Although there have been advancements, a comprehensive understanding of the underlying etiology of cNLBP remains elusive, resulting in less than optimal treatment outcomes. This study aimed to examine the correlation between lipid variations and the development of cNLBP. The cohort consisted of 26 healthy volunteers (HV group) and 30 cNLBP patients, with an assessment of metabolites and lipid composition in both groups. Metabolomic results revealed significant alterations in lipid-associated metabolites between the HV and cNLBP groups. Subsequent lipid analysis revealed that monoacylglycerols (MAGs) increased approximately 1.2-fold (
