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

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) results from cell dysfunction or death following supra-threshold physical loading. Neural plasmalemma compromise has been observed following traumatic neural insults; however, the biomechanical thresholds and time-course of such disruptions remain poorly understood. In order to investigate trauma-induced membrane disruptions, we induced dynamic strain fields (0.50 shear or compressive strain at 1, 10, or 30?sec(?1) strain rate) in 3-D neuronal-astrocytic co-cultures (>500??m thick). Impermeant dyes were present during mechanical loading and entered cells in a strain rate-dependent manner for both shear and compression. Real-time imaging revealed increased membrane permeability in a sub-population of cells immediately upon deformation. Alterations in cell membrane permeability, however, were transient and biphasic over the ensuing hour post-insult, suggesting initial membrane damage and rapid repair, followed by a phase of secondary membrane degradation. At 48?h post-insult, cell death increased significantly in the high-strain-rate group, but not after quasi-static loading, suggesting that cell survival relates to the initial extent of transient structural compromise. Cells were more sensitive to bulk shear deformation than compression with respect to acute permeability changes and subsequent cell survival. These results provide insight into the temporally varying alterations in membrane stability following traumatic loading and provide a basis for elucidating physical cellular tolerances.
