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

Spinal cord injury (SCI), for which there currently is no cure, is a heavy burden on patient physiology and psychology. The microenvironment of the injured spinal cord is complicated. According to our previous work and the advancements in SCI research, 'microenvironment imbalance' is the main cause of the poor regeneration and recovery of SCI. Microenvironment imbalance is defined as an increase in inhibitory factors and decrease in promoting factors for tissues, cells and molecules at different times and spaces. There are imbalance of hemorrhage and ischemia, glial scar formation, demyelination and re-myelination at the tissue's level. The cellular level imbalance involves an imbalance in the differentiation of endogenous stem cells and the transformation phenotypes of microglia and macrophages. The molecular level includes an imbalance of neurotrophic factors and their pro-peptides, cytokines, and chemokines. The imbalanced microenvironment of the spinal cord impairs regeneration and functional recovery. This review will aid in the understanding of the pathological processes involved in and the development of comprehensive treatments for SCI.
