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

Current imaging modalities lack the ability to quickly assess and classify nerve injury for predicting favourable versus unfavourable healing outcomes, which could minimize episodes of chronic pain and loss of function by allowing for early intervention. Thus, the development of a technique to noninvasively assess peripheral nerve damage is of critical importance. While the development of nerve specific near infrared (NIR) molecular probes capable of such diagnostics constitutes our long term goal, initial studies to identify a NIR dye for constructing such a probe are required. We have evaluated the properties of a novel highly hydrophilic and functionalizable polymethine dye, and its more hydrophobic analogue indocyanine green, within the sciatic nerve of rats following intra-nerve injection. The reporting ability of both dyes at critical depths for nerve imaging, the importance of hydrophilicity on dye transport through nervous tissue, and their toxicity - or lack thereof - to the neural environment have been evaluated. The results suggest that the novel NIR dye is an appropriate fluorescent reporter for use in designing nerve-specific optical molecular probes for non-invasive diagnosis and classification of nerve injury.
