Rehabilitation Decreases Spasticity by Restoring Chloride Homeostasis through the Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor-KCC2 Pathway after Spinal Cord Injury.
Article in Journal of neurotrauma, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 39 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Activity-based therapy is routinely integrated in rehabilitation programs to facilitate functional recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). Among its beneficial effects is a reduction of hyperreflexia and spasticity, which affects ∼75% of the SCI population. Unlike current anti-spastic pharmacological treatments, rehabilitation attenuates spastic symptoms without causing an active depression in spinal excitability, thus avoiding further interference with motor recovery. Understanding how activity-based therapies contribute to decrease spasticity is critical to identifying new pharmacological targets and to optimize rehabilitation programs. It was recently demonstrated that a decrease in the expression of KCC2, a neuronal Cl
