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 results in significant motor and sensory loss. In the experimental ventral root avulsion (VRA) model, the ventral (motor) roots are disconnected from the spinal cord surface, disrupting contact between spinal motoneurons and muscle fibers. Axotomized motoneurons typically degenerate within two to three weeks after avulsion, the situation being exacerbated by an increased glial response and chronic inflammation. Nevertheless, root reimplantation has been observed to stimulate regenerative potential in some motoneurons, serving as a model for CNS/PNS regeneration. We hypothesized that a combination of neuroprotective and immunomodulatory therapies is capable of enhancing regenerative responses following nerve root injury and repair. A heterologous fibrin biopolymer (HFB) was used for surgical repair; dimethyl fumarate (DMF) was used for neuroprotection and immunomodulation; and adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSCs) were used as a source of trophic factors and cytokines that may further enhance neuronal survival. Thus, adult female Lewis rats underwent unilateral VRA of the L4-L6 roots, followed by reimplantation with HFB, AT-MSCs transplantation, and daily DMF treatment for four weeks, with a 12-week postoperative survival period. An evaluation of the results focused on light microscopy, qRT-PCR, and the Catwalk motor function recovery system. Data were analyzed using one-way or two-way ANOVA (
