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

Spinal cord injury is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among young adults in many countries including the United States. Difficulty in the regeneration of neurons is one of the main obstacles that leave spinal cord injury patients with permanent paralysis in most instances. Recent research has found that preventing acute and subacute secondary cellular damages to the neurons and supporting glial cells can help slow the progression of spinal cord injury pathogenesis, in part by reactivating endogenous regenerative proteins including Noggin that are normally present during spinal cord development. Noggin is a complex protein and natural inhibitor of the multifunctional bone morphogenetic proteins, and its expression is high during spinal cord development and after induction of spinal cord injury. In this review article, we first discuss the change in expression of Noggin during pathogenesis in spinal cord injury. Second, we discuss the current research knowledge about the neuroprotective role of Noggin in preclinical models of spinal cord injury. Lastly, we explain the gap in the knowledge for the use of Noggin in the treatment of spinal cord injury. The results from extensive in vitro and in vivo research have revealed that the therapeutic efficacy of Noggin treatment remains debatable due to its neuroprotective effects observed only in early phases of spinal cord injury but little to no effect on altering pathogenesis and functional recovery observed in the chronic phase of spinal cord injury. Furthermore, clinical information regarding the role of Noggin in the alleviation of progression of pathogenesis, its therapeutic efficacy, bioavailability, and safety in human spinal cord injury is still lacking and therefore needs further investigation.
