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

Neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) has been implicated to influence peripheral nerve lesion and regeneration. Post-synaptic density-95 (PSD-95) is one of nNOS-anchoring proteins and plays an important role in specifying the sites of reaction of NO in nervous system. Here we established a rat sciatic nerve crush (SNC) model to examine the spatiotemporal expression of PSD-95 and nNOS. At gene levels, PSD-95 mRNA diminished shortly after crush, and significantly elevated from 2 days to 2 weeks, whereas nNOS decreased progressively post-operation, reached the valley at 1 day, and markedly up-regulated from 1 to 2 weeks after SNC. The expression of both molecules returned to the control level at 4 weeks post-injury. At protein levels, PSD-95 and nNOS underwent the similar changes as their gene expression except for a time lag during up-regulating. At their peak expression, PSD-95 co-labeled with nNOS in Schwann cells (SCs) of sciatic nerve within 0.5 mm from the lesion site, but had few colocalization in axons. In addition, the interaction between PSD-95 and nNOS enhanced significantly at 2 weeks after SNC. These results suggest a correlation of PSD-95 up-regulation with nNOS in reactive SCs of crushed sciatic nerve, which may lead to understanding the function of PSD-95 during peripheral nerve regeneration.
