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: Annulus fibrosus (AF) is an important part of the intervertebral disc (IVD) and its injury leads to back pain and impaired mobility. The stem/progenitor cells are essential for the maturation and repair of the AF, however, the identity of AF stem/progenitor cells remain elusive. Methods: In this study, we sorted cells from the murine IVDs and performed the single-cell RNA sequencing. Using single-cell transcriptomics, genetic lineage tracing, Results: On the basis of single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis of the intervertebral disc, we found that the transcription factor Conclusions: The translational potential of this article: These findings expand the important role of stem cells in maturation and repair and provide new strategy for cellular therapy of AF repair.
