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

backgroundPeripheral nerves can self-regenerate after traumatic injury, although their self-regeneration ability is limited after severe nerve injury. After peripheral nerve injury, the distal nerve stumps undergo Wallerian degeneration while the proximal nerve stumps undergo a regeneration process.

methodsHere, to decipher genetic changes and involved biological processes in the proximal nerve stumps after peripheral nerve injury, microarray data (GSE30165) were analyzed. Differentially expressed genes in the proximal nerve stumps at 0.5 h, 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, 9 h, 1 d, 4 d, 7 d, and 14 d after rat sciatic nerve transection were subjected to Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) bioinformatic analysis.

resultsCytokine signaling, cellular immune response, nuclear receptor signaling, disease-specific pathways, and organismal growth and development were significantly activated in the proximal nerve stumps after nerve transection. Organ development, inflammation and immune response, diseases and organ abnormalities, and cellular behavior-related biological functions were highly involved.

conclusionsThe expression levels of differentially expressed genes in biological function "Organismal Injury and Abnormalities" were displayed and validated. Our current study helps to obtain a better understanding of the biological processes of peripheral nerve regeneration, especially the regeneration process in the proximal nerve stumps, and thus may help to discover new therapeutic methods that can promote nerve regeneration.
