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

objectivesSpinal cord injury (SCI) is an acute traumatic lesion of neurons in the spinal cord which has a high prevalence in the world, and has no effective surgical treatment. HSP70 is a molecular chaperone protein, serves a protective role in several different models of nervous system injury. The aim of the present study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory role of HSP70 in spinal cord injury and explore its mechanism.

methodsIn vivo and in vitro models were constructed to mimic SCI. The Basso Mouse Scale (BMS) was applied to assess SCI degrees of the mouse model. Immunofluorescence (IF) was used for visualizing HSP70 and Iba1 in the spinal cord. Western blot assay was employed to quantify HSP70 and p65, and ELISA was for IL-1β and TNF-α.

resultsThe results showed that HSP70 expression decreased after SCI. HSP70 and Iba1 showed a decrease of co-localization in SCI mice. Further studies revealed that p65 was upregulated during the process of SCI. Overexpression of HSP70 inhibited the expression of p65 both in vitro and in vivo, and promoted the recovery of SCI mice.

conclusionsHSP70 was involved in the pathological process of spinal cord injury, HSP70 alleviated the spinal cord injury via inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathway.
