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

We investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of injectable hydrogel containing tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) in a spinal cord injury (SCI) model. To this end, TUDCA-hydrogel (TC gel) is created by immersing the synthesized hydrogel in a TUDCA solution for 1 h. A mechanical SCI was imposed on rats, after which we injected the TC gel. After the SCI and injections, motor functions and lesions were significantly improved in the TC gel group compared with those in the saline group. The TC gel significantly decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels compared with the saline; TUDCA and glycol chitosan-oxidized hyaluronate were mixed at a ratio of 9:1 (CHA) gel independently. In addition, the TC gel significantly suppressed the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK) in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway compared with the saline, TUDCA, and CHA gel independently. It also decreased tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), inflammatory marker, at the injured sites more than those in the saline, TUDCA, and CHA gel groups. In conclusion, the results of this study demonstrate the neuroinflammatory inhibition effects of TC gel in SCI and suggest that TC gel can be an alternative drug system for SCI cases.
