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

The self-repair ability of tissues and organs in case of injury and disease is a fundamental biological mechanism and an important therapeutic target. The tissue plasticity and the presence of adult stem cell niches open a new path in the development of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments finalized to improve the intrinsic regeneration.In this context, nerve growth factor (NGF) is widely studied for its capability of driving endogenous regeneration of ectoderm-derived tissues, directly acting on the cell targets and through the regulation of the stem cell niches. In fact, this growth factor is very promising for its key role in the development and multiplicity of the cellular targets.In this chapter, we have traveled across the recent history of NGF pleiotropic role in ectodermal tissue generation and repair, from embryonic development to skin wound healing, axonal regrowth, and remyelination.The better understanding of both the biological mechanisms underlying regeneration and the physiological role of NGF in development and injury response will open new therapeutic strategies, driven by the potential applications of this growth factor as an agent for improving endogenous regeneration processes.
