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

Artificial nerve conduits hold significant promise for treating nerve injuries, with researchers focusing on simplifying techniques to harness microstructures and functions to improve their therapeutic outcomes. Here, a type of conductive nerve guidance conduit (NGC) with orientated topological structures from ice-templating technology is presented for promoting peripheral nerve regeneration. Based on a temperature gradient generated by a thermoelectric cooling platform, conductive carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and methacrylated gelatin are introduced into the ice crystal template to create conductive conduits with unique oriented structures. Ascribed to such structures, together with the great conductivity of CNTs and the loaded nerve growth factors, the obtained conduits can direct the neurite extension and facilitate the differentiation and growth of nerve cells. By constructing rat models with long-segment sciatic nerve defects, it was confirmed that such conductive NGCs can effectively improve injured nerve regeneration and motor function recovery. These features reveal the practical application value and broad prospect of our prepared NGCs in improving peripheral nerve regeneration.
