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

Lumbar disc degeneration due to annulus fibrosus (AF) defects poses a significant challenge in clinical treatment Current treatments exhibit limited repair efficacy and a high recurrence rate. To address this, we devised a novel approach of crosslinking stabilization strategy. We integrated fibrinogen, thrombin, genipin, and human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) hydrogel (FTGB) with acellular scaffold and fascia (FTGB@S@F) to remediate AF defects. FTIR analysis confirmed stable chemical crosslinking within the FTGB hydrogel. FTGB hydrogel demonstrated superior biocompatibility compared to the FB hydrogel, with significantly higher cell viability (97.60 ± 2.02 %
