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

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) damages the nerve tissue of the spinal cord, resulting in loss of motor and/or sensory functions at and below the injury level. SCI provokes a long-lasting immune response that extends beyond the spinal cord and induces changes in the composition and function of the peripheral immune system. Seemingly contradictory findings have been observed, as both systemic immune activation, including inflammation and autoimmunity, and immune suppression have been reported. Differences in the levels and functions of various cell types and components of both the innate and adaptive immune system supporting these changes have been described at (sub)acute and chronic stages post-injury. Further research is needed for a more comprehensive understanding of the peripheral immune reactions following SCI, their possible correlations with clinical characteristics, and how these immune responses could be targeted to facilitate the therapeutic management of SCI. In this review, we provide an overview of the current literature discussing changes in the peripheral immune system and their occurrence over time following a traumatic SCI.
