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

PNS injury initiates transcriptional changes in Schwann cells, satellite glial cells and PNS neurons that facilitate regeneration. The signaling pathways that control these transcriptional changes are not fully understood. The canonical/β-catenin Wnt signaling pathway is active during early stages of PNS development, where it controls radial axonal sorting and the onset of PNS myelination. Upon PNS injury, the canonical Wnt signaling pathway is re-activated, suggesting that canonical Wnt signaling plays an important role in PNS regeneration. To explore the potential of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway as a therapeutic target in enhancement of PNS recovery, we used a combination of genetic and pharmacological approaches to either activate or inhibit canonical Wnt signaling during PNS recovery. We found that manipulating canonical Wnt signaling does not alter PNS regeneration. Our data suggest that the canonical Wnt signaling pathway is not a strong therapeutic target for the enhancement of PNS regeneration.
