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 is a major contributor to discogenic low back pain and is characterized by a pro-inflammatory and catabolic microenvironment within the nucleus pulposus. We previously showed that the phosphatase PH domain leucine-rich repeat protein phosphatase 1 (PHLPP1) is positively correlated with intervertebral disc degeneration and that its deficiency promoted nucleus pulposus cell survival and matrix homeostasis; however, its role in inflammatory signaling during intervertebral disc degeneration remained unknown. Here, we show that PHLPP1 functions as an upstream regulator of inflammatory and catabolic networks in the degenerating intervertebral disc. In aged mice,
