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

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is the main cause of low back pain and is related to the aging of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells (NPCs). However, the underlying mechanism for senescence of NPCs has not been well understood. NPCs (control-NPCs and IDD-NPCs) were separated from the NP tissues of patients, diagnosed with graded I and IV IDD. The proliferation and senescence levels were detected by MTT assay and senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining, respectively. The expression of cyclin B1 and caveolin-1 was evaluated by Western blot analysis. RNA-sequencing technology was used to screen differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in IDD-NPCs. Finally, through the interference and overexpression of MYB proto-oncogene-like 2 (MYBL2), the effect of MYBL2 on cell senescence was explored. Compared with control-NPCs, the proliferation ability of IDD-NPCs was significantly reduced and the senescence level was obviously increased. 1,061 DEGs were screened in IDD-NPCs. By analyzing DEGs related to aging and aging-related pathways and terms, cell cycle arrest was identified. Knockdown of MYBL2 promoted the senescence of control-NPCs, and overexpression of MYBL2 inhibited the senescence of IDD-NPCs. The study found that upregulation of MYBL2 ameliorated the senescence of IDD-NPCs, providing a potential way to inhibit the senescence of NPCs.
