Review in Bone research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07232836 (The Role of Cytokines and Neuroplasticity Modulators in the Development of Spinal Canal Stenosis and the Identification of Biomarkers for the Biochemical Evaluation of Treatment in Patients Undergoing Endoscopic Spinal Canal Decompression), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

Degenerative spine and joint diseases, including intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), ossification of the spinal ligaments (OSL), and osteoarthritis (OA), are common musculoskeletal diseases that cause pain or disability to the patients. However, the pathogenesis of these musculoskeletal disorders is complex and has not been elucidated clearly to date. As a matter of fact, the spine and joints are not independent of other organs and tissues. Recently, accumulating evidence demonstrates the association between obesity and degenerative musculoskeletal diseases. Obesity is a common metabolic disease characterized by excessive adipose tissue or abnormal adipose distribution in the body. Excessive mechanical stress is regarded as a critical risk factor for obesity-related pathology. Additionally, obesity-related factors, mainly including lipid metabolism disorder, dysregulated pro-inflammatory adipokines and cytokines, are reported as plausible links between obesity and various human diseases. Importantly, these obesity-related factors are deeply involved in the regulation of cell phenotypes and cell fates, extracellular matrix (ECM) metabolism, and inflammation in the pathophysiological processes of degenerative spine and joint diseases. In this study, we systematically discuss the potential cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying obesity in these degenerative musculoskeletal diseases, and hope to provide novel insights for developing targeted therapeutic strategies.
