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

objectiveTraumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is considered one of the most devastating injuries leading to neuronal disruption. Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) and minocycline have been shown to promote locomotor function after spinal cord injury. In this study, we have tested the efficacy of combined treatment with minocycline and OECs after contusive spinal cord injury. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this experimental study, adult female Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups. Rats received an intraperitoneal injection of minocycline immediately after SCI, and then 24 hours after the injury. Transplantations were performed 7 days after the injury. Functional recovery was evaluated using the Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan scale (BBB). After that, the animals were sacrificed, and T11 segment of the spinal cord was removed after 5 weeks, and then used for histopathological, immunohistochemical, and biochemical assessments. Western blot analysis was applied to determine the protein expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 1 beta (IL1β) and caspase3.

resultsThe results of this study showed that the combination of OECs graft and minocycline reduced the functional deficits and diminished cavitation and astrogliosis in spinal tissue. The analysis of protein expression by western blotting revealed that minocycline treatment along with OECs transplantation further decreased the level of IL-1β, TNF-α, caspase-3, and the oxidative stress as compared with when minocycline or OECs transplantation was used alone.

conclusionThe combinatory treatment with OECs graft and minocycline induced a more effective response to the repair of spinal cord injury, and it is considered a therapeutic potential for the treatment of SCI.
