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 receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase sigma (PTPsigma) is a member of the mammalian leukocyte common antigen-related (LAR) family. Its expression is developmentally regulated in neuronal tissues. The Drosophila homolog of the mammalian LAR family of phosphatases (DLAR) controls axon guidance during Drosophila embryogenesis. We have demonstrated previously that mice deficient in PTPsigma have CNS and peripheral nervous system abnormalities. The sciatic nerve in the PTPsigma(-/-) mice demonstrates an increased number of small diameter fibers and slower nerve conduction velocities compared with PTPsigma(+/+) or PTPsigma(+/-) controls. To study whether peripheral nerve regeneration is affected by PTPsigma activity, we assessed nerve regeneration in the PTPsigma(-/-) mouse after three standard models of sciatic nerve injury. We report that after sciatic nerve crush injury, nerve regeneration was significantly faster in the PTPsigma(-/-) animals, as determined by histologic, electrophysiologic, and neuromuscular testing. After sciatic nerve transection with immediate microsurgical repair or allografting, PTPsigma(-/-) nerve fibers demonstrated errors in directional growth compared with controls. We propose that PTPsigma regulates the axonal regeneration rate and guidance of regenerating fibers.
