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

objectiveTo establish a spinal cord injury (SCI) model by ventral violence and explore its pathological changes.

methodsWe first designed and made a shape-suitable impinger. SD rats were divided into 4 groups according to force momentum calculated by weight and height: Group A (350 g*28 cm), Group B (280 g*28 cm), Group C (210 g*28 cm), and Group D (sham, 0 g*0 cm). Then the anterior border of the rat's T11 centrum was hit by the by impinger via a free-falling method. Locomotor functional (Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan scale-BBB scale), GFAP expression and pathological changes, complications, and mortality were observed.

resultsThe BBB scale scores were significantly different among all groups. Contusion, hematoma, and subarachnoid hemorrhage appeared at 1-6 h after injury in group A and B. Edema was obvious and the inflammatory cell infiltrated at the time of 6-48 h. Cicatricial contracture and porosis formed at 3-4 weeks, while group C only showed sporadic punctate hemorrhage. GFAP expression changed by time and location dynamically compared with group D. Various complications appeared in the experimental groups. Intestinal obstruction was the main cause of death. The mortality was significantly different among the groups (

conclusionThe acute ventral closing SCI model could be set up successfully by a shape-suitable impinger. The procedure was simple and repetitive. Neural function deficiency, pathological changes, and mortality were consistent with the injury controlled by coup momentum. Under the condition of this model, astrocytes went through an acute damage period and continued in the further hyperplasia stage.
