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

objectiveFibulin-1 is a matricellular protein that plays important roles in motility inhibition in a variety of cells and blocks the proliferation of cultured neural stem cells. The biological function of fibulin-1 in the spinal cord has not been fully elucidated.

methodsTo clarify the expressions and possible functions of fibulin-1 in spinal cord injury (SCI), we performed an acute spinal cord contusion injury model in adult rats. Our work studied the temporospatial expression patterns of fibulin-1.

resultsWestern blot analysis revealed that fibulin-1 levels significantly increased 5 days after spinal cord contusion. Immunohistochemistry confirmed an increased number of fibulin-1 immunopositive cells about 2 mm from the lesion site. Moreover, double immunofluorescence labeling suggested that these changes were especially prominent in neurons and microglia.

conclusionThese findings suggest that fibulin-1 may be involved in neuronal apoptosis and microglial activation after SCI.
