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

The objective of this study was to explore the correlation between the alteration in chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG) expression at the epicenter of spinal cord and the loss of behavioral function in tiptoe walking Yoshimura mice. The tiptoe walking Yoshimura mice (twy) and Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice, aged 20 and 26 weeks, were used in the present study. The behavior assessment, micro-computed tomography and immunofluorescent staining were performed. The compressed spinal cord was histologically analyzed. The results showed that the expression of CSPG was statistically higher at the compressed spinal cord for twy mice compared with that at the normal spinal cord for ICR mice. At the 26th week, a large ossification block at the posterior longitudinal ligament of C1-3 was obviously observed at the micro-CT image We observed the BMS Score was significantly correlated with the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein, CSPG and hyaluronan (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that compression injury induces the higher CSPG expression at the compressed spinal cord in the twy mice. Furthermore, the alteration in CSPG expression at the epicenter of spinal cord is associated with the loss of behavioral function in twy mice.
