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

Molecules and pathways that suppress growth are expressed in postmitotic neurons, a potential advantage in mature neural networks, but a liability during regeneration. In this work, we probed the APC (adenomatous polyposis coli)-β-catenin partner pathway in adult peripheral sensory neurons during regeneration. APC had robust expression in the cytoplasm and perinuclear region of adult DRG sensory neurons both before and after axotomy injury. β-catenin was expressed in neuronal nuclei, neuronal cytoplasm and also in perineuronal satellite cells. In injured dorsal root ganglia (DRG) sensory neurons and their axons, we observed paradoxical APC upregulation, despite its role as an inhibitor of growth whereas β-catenin was downregulated. Inhibition of APC in adult sensory neurons and activation of β-catenin, LEF/TCF transcriptional factors were associated with increased neuronal plasticity in vitro. Local knockdown of APC, at the site of sciatic nerve crush injury enhanced evidence for electrophysiological, behavioural and structural regeneration in vivo. This was accompanied by upregulation of β-catenin. Collectively, the APC-β-catenin-LEF/TCF transcriptional pathway impacts intrinsic mechanisms of axonal regeneration and neuronal plasticity after injury, offering new options for addressing axon regeneration.
