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
Apoptosis and calcification of endplate chondrocytes (EPCs) can exacerbate intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-exosomes) are reported to have the therapeutic potential in IVDD. However, the effects and related mechanisms of MSC-exosomes on EPCs are still unclear. We aimed to investigate the role of MSC-exosomes on EPCs with a tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)-induced oxidative stress cell model and IVDD rat model. First, our study revealed that TBHP could result in apoptosis and calcification of EPCs, and MSC-exosomes could inhibit the detrimental effects. We also found that these protective effects were inhibited after miroRNA (miR)-31-5p levels were downregulated in MSC-exosomes. The target relationship between miR-31-5p and ATF6 was tested. miR-31-5p negatively regulated ATF6-related endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and inhibited apoptosis and calcification in EPCs. Our
