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

Background: Back pain after intervertebral disc (IVD) injury is a common clinical problem. Previous work examining early molecular changes post injury mainly used a candidate marker approach. Methods: In this study, gene expression in the injured and intact mouse tail IVDs was determined with a nonbiased whole transcriptome approach and related to subsequent pain behavior. Mouse tail IVD injury was induced by a needle puncture. Whole murine transcriptome was determined by RNASeq. Transcriptomes of injured IVDs were compared with those of intact controls by bioinformatic methods. Mechanical allodynia was assessed by the Von Frey method. Results: Among the 17,722 murine genes with meaningful expressions, 7242 genes were differentially expressed ( Conclusion: The RNASeq data revealed numerous early genes that participate in inflammation and repair processes post IVD injury. Mechanical allodynia followed these gene expression changes.
