Comparison of Analgesic Efficacy between Epidural and Perineural Administration of Autologous Conditioned Serum in the Conservative Treatment of Low Back Pain Due to Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease: A Randomized, Open-Label, Controlled Clinical Trial.
Article in Brain sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Lumbar degenerative disc disease (LDDD) is widely acknowledged as a significant contributor to low back pain (LBP), which is a prevalent and debilitating health condition affecting millions of individuals worldwide. The pathogenesis of LDDD and associated pain mechanisms are thought to be mediated by inflammatory mediators. Autologous conditioned serum (ACS, Orthokine) may be used for symptomatic treatment of LBP due to LDDD. This study aimed to compare the analgesic efficacy and safety of two routes of ACS administration, perineural (periarticular) and epidural (interlaminar), in the conservative treatment of LBP. This study used an open-label, randomized, controlled trial protocol. A group of 100 patients were enrolled in the study and randomly allocated into two comparative groups. Group A (
