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

introductionIn the present study, we examined the effect of oriented collagen tube (OCT) implantation on the recovery of sensory function of the resected rat sciatic nerve. MATERIALS AND

methodsAfter a 10-mm long portion of the sciatic nerve of a rat was resected, an OCT was placed in the site of nerve defect. Recovery of the sensory function was evaluated using Von Frey test every 3 days after surgery. The regenerated tissue were histologically and ultrastructurally analyzed 2 and 4 weeks after the surgery.

resultsThe sensory reflexes of the OCT group were restored to the level of that of the intact group after 15 days. Hematoxylin and eosin staining revealed the cross-linking between the proximal and distal stumps after 2 weeks. After 4 weeks, Luxol Fast Blue and immunohistochemical staining revealed the presence of myelin sheath from the proximal to distal region of the regenerated tissue and S100B staining confirmed the presence of Schwann cells. Interestingly, no myelin sheath was ultrastructurally observed around the regenerated axons at the central region after 2 weeks.

conclusionsThese results suggest that OCTs facilitate the recovery of sensory function. Additionally, the non-myelinated axons contributed to the recovery of the sensory function.
