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

Tropomyosin (TM), is a coiled-coil dimmer which modulates actin filament properties, has been implicated in the control of actin filament dynamics during cell migration, morphogenesis, and cytokinesis. However, the expressions and possible functions of tropomyosin in central nervous system (CNS) lesion remain unknown. In this study, we found the expression of tropomyosin gradually increased in rat brains subjected to traumatic brain injury (TBI). Double immunofluorescence staining showed tropomyosin was expressed in neurons and reactive astrocytes following TBI but not in quiescent astrocytes in normal brains. Furthermore, we detected that proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) had the co-localization with GFAP, and tropomyosin. In conclusion, this was the first description of tropomyosin expression in rat traumatic brain. Our date suggested that tropomyosin might be involved in the astrocytes proliferation following TBI.
