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

STUDY

designThe rat's acellular spinal cord scaffold (ASCS) and spinal cord neurons were prepared in vitro to explore their biocompatibility.

objectivesThe preparation of ASCS and co-culture with neuron may lay a foundation for clinical treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI).

settingTianjin Medical University General Hospital, ChinaMethods:ASCS was prepared by chemical extraction method. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), myelin staining and scanning electron microscope were used to observe the surface structure of ASCS. Spinal cord neurons of rat were separated in vitro, and then co-cultured with prepared ASCS in virto.

resultsThe prepared ASCS showed mesh structure with small holes of different sizes. H&E staining showed that cell components were all removed. The ASCS possessed fine three-dimensional network porous structure. DNA components were not found in the ASCS by DNA agarose gel electrophoresis. The cultured cells express neuron-specific enolase (NSE) antigen with long axons. H&E staining showed that the neurons adhered to the pore structures of ASCS, and the cell growth was fine. The survival rate of co-cultured cells was (97.53±1.52%) by MTT detection. Immunohistochemical staining showed that neurons on the scaffold expressed NSE and NeuN antigen. Cells were arranged closely, and the channel structures of ASCS were fully filled with neurons. The cells accumulated in the channel and grew well in good state.

conclusionThe structure of ASCS remained intact, and the neurons were closely arranged in the scaffolds. These results may lay a solid foundation for clinical treatment of SCI when considering glial scar replacement by biomaterials.
