Role of neurogenic inflammation in intervertebral disc degeneration.
Review in World journal of orthopedics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
In healthy intervertebral discs (IVDs), nerves and blood vessels are present only in the outer annulus fibrosus, while in degenerative IVDs, a large amount of nerve and blood vessel tissue grows inward. Evidence supports that neurogenic inflammation produced by neuropeptides such as substance P and calcitonin gene related peptide released by the nociceptive nerve fibers innervating the IVDs plays a crucial role in the process of IVD degeneration. Recently, non-neuronal cells, including IVD cells and infiltrating immune cells, have emerged as important players in neurogenic inflammation. IVD cells and infiltrating immune cells express functional receptors for neuropeptides through which they receive signals from the nervous system. In return, IVD cells and immune cells produce neuropeptides and nerve growth factor, which stimulate nerve fibers. This communication generates a positive bidirectional feedback loop that can enhance the inflammatory response of the IVD. Recently emerging transient receptor potential channels have been recognized as contributors to neurogenic inflammation in the degenerative IVDs. These findings suggest that neurogenic inflammation involves complex pathophysiological interactions between sensory nerves and multiple cell types in the degenerative IVDs. Clarifying the mechanism of neurogenic inflammation in IVD degeneration may provide in-depth understanding of the pathology of discogenic low back pain.
