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

The ability to perform stepping and standing can be reacquired after complete thoracic spinal cord transection in adult cats with appropriate, repetitive training. We now compare GAD(67)A levels in the spinal cord of cats that were trained to step or stand. We confirmed that a complete spinal cord transection at approximately T12 increases glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD)(67) in both the dorsal and ventral horns of L5-L7. We now show that step training decreases these levels toward control. Kinematic analyses show that this downward modulation is correlated inversely with stepping ability. Compared with intact cats, spinal cord-transected cats had increased punctate GAD(67) immunoreactivity around neurons in lamina IX at cord segments L5-L7. Compared with spinal nontrained cats, those trained to stand on both hindlimbs had more GAD(67) puncta bilaterally in a subset of lamina IX neurons. In cats trained to stand unilaterally, this elevated staining pattern was limited to the trained side and extended for at least 4 mm in the L6 and L7 segments. The location of this asymmetric GAD(67) staining corresponded to the motor columns of primary knee flexors, which are minimally active during standing, perhaps because of extensor-activated inhibitory interneuron projections. The responsiveness to only a few days of motor training, as well as the GABA-synthesizing potential in the spinal cord, persists for at least 25 months after the spinal cord injury. This modulation is specific to the motor task that is performed repetitively and is closely linked to the ability of the animal to perform a specific motor task.
