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

Axon regeneration in the CNS is blocked by inhibitory molecules in the environment and by a developmental loss of regenerative potential in CNS axons. Axon growth is a specialized form of cell migration, and for any cell to migrate there must be an adhesion molecule at the growth tip that recognizes a ligand in the environment, and which is linked to signaling and cytoskeletal mechanisms. The reasons for this loss of regenerative ability in CNS axons are several, but important contributors are the developmental loss of integrins that recognize ligands in the mature CNS environment, and selective trafficking of integrins and other molecules to exclude them from axons and direct them to dendrites. Regeneration of sensory axons in the spinal cord can be achieved by expression of tenascin-binding α9-integrin together with the integrin activator kindlin-1. This works because integrins are transported into sensory axons. Transport of integrins into retinal ganglion cell axons is seen in the retina, but may become more restricted in the optic nerve, with a subset of axons containing expressed integrins. Transduction of ganglion cells with α9-integrin and kindlin-1 should promote regeneration of this subset of axons, but attention to transport may be required for regeneration of the remaining axons.
