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

Purpose: Low back pain (LBP) is a leading cause of disability worldwide with limited effective pharmacotherapies. We aimed to identify novel therapeutic candidate targets for LBP through integrative genomics. Methods: We employed summary-data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR) with GWAS data from FinnGen (13,178 cases/164,682 controls) and tissue-specific expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) from peripheral blood (Westra cohort: n = 5,311; 15,636 genes) and brain tissue (UKBEC: n = 134; 16,309 genes). Heterogeneity in dependent instruments (HEIDI) analysis validated causal associations. Candidate targets were further assessed by pathway enrichment, drug prediction, and phenome-wide association studies (PheWAS). Results: Peripheral blood eQTLs identified four genes associated with LBP ( Conclusion: This multi-omics framework prioritizes
