Learning to promote recovery after spinal cord injury.
Review in Experimental neurology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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
The present review explores the concept of learning within the context of neurorehabilitation after spinal cord injury (SCI). The aim of physical therapy and neurorehabilitation is to bring about a lasting change in function-to encourage learning. Traditionally, it was assumed that the adult spinal cord is hardwired-immutable and incapable of learning. Research has shown that neurons within the lower (lumbosacral) spinal cord can support learning after communication with the brain has been disrupted by means of a thoracic transection. Noxious stimulation can sensitize nociceptive circuits within the spinal cord, engaging signal pathways analogous to those implicated in brain-dependent learning and memory. After a spinal contusion injury, pain input can fuel hemorrhage, increase the area of tissue loss (secondary injury), and undermine long-term recovery. Neurons within the spinal cord are sensitive to environmental relations. This learning has a metaplastic effect that counters neural over-excitation and promotes adaptive learning through an up-regulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Exposure to rhythmic stimulation, treadmill training, and cycling also enhances the expression of BDNF and counters the development of nociceptive sensitization. SCI appears to enable plastic potential within the spinal cord by down-regulating the Cl
