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

purposeTo research the therapeutic effect of the allograft of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on hind limbs' motor function of rats that underwent acute injury to their spinal nerve.

design40 Wistar rat samples with the acute injury to the spinal cord were established and divided into the transplantation group and the control group, 20 for each group; One week after injury, BMSCs were slowly injected into the center of the injured spinal cord of the rats, and the physiological saline was injected into the control group.

main outcome measuresThe rehabilitation of the motor function of the rats' hind limbs was observed; furthermore, eight weeks after the injury, the protein disparity of the nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) between the two groups of rats was noted.

resultsThe rehabilitation of the hind limbs' motor function of the transplantation group was significantly better than that of the control group from the third week on after injury, and the difference was of significance (P<0.05).

conclusionsTransplanting BMSCs can boost the protein expression of NGF and BDNF in the rats which undergo acute injury to their spinal nerves. It can, therefore, significantly improve the rehabilitation of the motor function of their hind limbs. The improvement is associated with the transplantation of BMSCs which are beneficial for regeneration and repair of the rat's spinal nerves.
