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
Background: To investigate the impacts of musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK-US)-guided needle-knife on serum pain mediators, stress response, inflammatory markers, and coagulation function in lumbar disc herniation (LDH) patients. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, we recruited 100 LDH patients admitted between February 2024 and January 2025 and assigned them to an MSK-US group (52 cases undergoing MSK-US-guided needle-knife) and a conventional group (48 cases receiving conventional needle-knife). Peripheral venous blood was collected before and within 2 hours postoperatively for IL-6, TNF-a, SP 5-HT, and hs-CRP measurements by ELISA, Cor, E, and NE determination using an automatic biochemical analyzer, b-EP detection by chemiluminescent immunoassay, and APTT, PT, FIB, and D-D quantification with a coagulation analyzer. Dynamic changes in these biomarkers were analyzed by betweenand within-group comparisons. Results: Both groups demonstrated postoperative reductions in SP and 5-HT and an elevation in b-EP (P< 0.05), though no marked inter-group differences were noted (P> 0.05). The MSK-US group showed lower postoperative levels of Cor, E, NE, IL-6, hs-CRP D-D, and FIB than the conventional group (P< 0.05), suggesting MSK-US's ability to reduce inflammation, alleviate stress reaction, and lower hyperfibrinolysis risk. Conclusions: MSK-US-guided needle-knife is effective in mitigating perioperative stress response and systemic inflammation in LDH patients while reducing the risk of coagulation disorders and providing a biomarker-driven framework for personalized postoperative management.
