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

Spinal cord injury (SCI) impairs mobility and often results in complications like intractable neuropathic pain. A multi-approach management of this chronic pain condition has been encouraged, but little has been explored of the field. Here, we focus on the effect and underlying mechanism of environmental enrichment (EE), which promotes voluntary social and physical activities, combined with a clinical analgesic, ketamine, on SCI-induced neuropathic pain as well as motor dysfunction. We performed T13 spinal hemisection in rats, which induced unilateral motor impairment and neuropathic pain-like behaviors in the hindlimb. Treatment regimen started a week after SCI, which consists of ketamine administration (30 mg kg
