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
At present, the effect of ganglioside combined with Jiaji electroacupuncture (Jiaji EA) on SCI still remains unclear. This study explores the effect of ganglioside combined with electroacupuncture on Nogo/NgR signal pathway in spinal cord tissue of spinal cord injury (SCI) rats. Basso Beattie Bresnahan (BBB) score was used to evaluate spinal cord function after modeling and 14 days post ganglioside and electroacupuncture treatment. RT-qPCR and western blot were performed to evaluate the expression levels of targets in spinal cord tissue. After 14 days of treatment, the BBB scores of Jiaji EA group, ganglioside group and combination group were all improved. The expression levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in Jiaji EA group, ganglioside group and combination group were significantly lower than those in model group. Both of mRNA and protein expression levels of Nogo-A, NgR and LINGO-1 in the model group were significantly higher than those in the Jiaji EA group, ganglioside group and combination group. Ganglioside combined with Jiaji EA has a stronger effect on promoting the recovery of nerve function. Its mechanism of action may be related to its inhibition of the expression of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α and Nogo-NgR signal pathway to promote neuronal growth. Our results will provide fundamental information for further SCI studies.
