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

An important role of neural stem cell transplantation is repopulating neural and glial cells that actively promote repair following spinal cord injury (SCI). However, stem cell survival after transplantation is severely hampered by the inflammatory environment that arises after SCI. Biomaterials have a demonstrated history of managing post-SCI inflammation and can serve as a vehicle for stem cell delivery. In this study, we utilize macroporous polyethylene glycol (PEG) tubes, which were previously found to modulate the post-SCI microenvironment, to serve as a viable, soft substrate for injecting mouse embryonic day 14 (E14) spinal progenitors 2 weeks after tube implantation into a mouse SCI model. At 2 weeks after transplantation (4 weeks after injury), 4.3% of transplanted E14 spinal progenitors survived when transplanted directly into tubes compared to 0.7% when transplanted into the injury alone. Surviving E14 spinal progenitors exhibited a commitment to the neuronal lineage at 4 weeks post-injury, as assessed by both early and late phenotypic markers. Mice receiving tubes with E14 spinal progenitor transplantations had on average 21 ± 4 axons/mm
