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 triggers leukocyte mobilization from the peripheral circulation to the injury site, exacerbating spinal cord damage. Simultaneously, bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and splenic leukocytes rapidly mobilize to replenish the depleted peripheral blood leukocyte pool. However, current treatments for spinal cord injuries overlook interventions targeting peripheral immune organs and tissues, highlighting the need to develop novel drugs capable of effectively regulating peripheral immunity and treating spinal cord injuries. In this study, we designed, synthesized, and characterized novel Ejiao carbon dots (EJCDs) that inhibit myeloid cell proliferation and peripheral migration by promoting HSC self-renewal, and distinct differentiation into erythroid progenitors in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, EJCDs attenuate the immune response in the spleen, leukocytes' reservoir, following spinal cord injury by diminishing the local infiltration of monocytes and macrophages while promoting motor function recovery. These effects are mediated through the downregulation of CCAAT enhancer binding protein-β expression in the spleen and the upregulation of FZD4 protein expression in Lin
