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

NSI-566 is a stable, primary adherent neural stem cell line derived from a single human fetal spinal cord and expanded epigenetically with no genetic modification. This cell line is being tested in clinical trials in the U.S. for treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and spinal cord injury. In a single-site, phase I study, we evaluated the feasibility and safety of NSI-566 transplantation for the treatment of hemiparesis due to chronic motor stroke and determined the maximum tolerated dose for future trials. Three cohorts (n = 3 per cohort) were transplanted with one-time intracerebral injections of 1.2 × 10
