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

To account for the beading of myelinated fibers, and axons of unmyelinated nerve fibers as well of neurites of cultured dorsal root ganglia caused by mild stretching, a model is presented. In this model, membrane tension and hydrostatic pressure are the basic factors responsible for axonal constriction, which causes the movement of axonal fluid from the constricted regions into the adjoining axon, there giving rise to the beading expansions. Beading ranges from a mild undulation, with the smallest degree of stretch, to more globular expansions and narrow intervening constrictions as stretch is increased: the degree of constriction is physically limited by the compaction of the cytoskeleton within the axons. The model is a general one, encompassing the possibility that the membrane skeleton, composed mainly of spectrin and actin associated with the inner face of the axolemma, could be involved in bringing about the constrictions and beading.
