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

Cell therapy plays an important role in multidisciplinary management of the two major forms of central nervous system (CNS) injury, traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury, which are caused by external physical trauma. Cell therapy for CNS disorders involves the use of cells of neural or non-neural origin to replace, repair, or enhance the function of the damaged nervous system and is usually achieved by transplantation of the cells, which are isolated and may be modified, e.g., by genetic engineering, when it may be referred to as gene therapy. Because the adult brain cells have a limited capacity to migrate to and regenerate at sites of injury, the use of embryonic stem cells that can be differentiated into various cell types as well as the use of neural stem cells has been explored. Preclinical studies and clinical trials are reviewed. Advantages as well as limitations are discussed. Cell therapy is promising for the treatment of CNS injury because it targets multiple mechanisms in a sustained manner. It can provide repair and regeneration of damaged tissues as well as prolonged release of neuroprotective and other therapeutic substances.
