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) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease in addition to a traumatic event. Cognitive dysfunction following SCI has been widely reported in patients and animal models. However, the neuroanatomical changes affecting cognitive function after SCI, as well as the mechanisms behind these changes, have so far remained elusive. Herein, we found that SCI accelerates oxidative stress damage of hippocampal neuronal mitochondria. Then, for the first time, we presented a three-dimensional morphological atlas of rat hippocampal neurons generated using a fluorescence Micro-Optical Sectioning Tomography system, a method that accurately identifies the spatial localization of neurons and trace neurites. We showed that the number of dendritic branches and dendritic length was decreased in late stage of SCI. Western blot and transmission electron microscopy analyses also showed a decrease in synaptic communication. In addition, a battery of behavioral tests in these animals revealed hippocampal based cognitive dysfunction, which could be attributed to changes in the dendritic complexity of hippocampal neurons. Taken together, these results suggested that mitochondrial abnormalities in hippocampal neurons induced the dendritic complexity reduction and cognitive decline following SCI. Our study highlights the neuroanatomical basis and importance of mitochondria in brain degeneration following SCI, which might contribute to propose new therapeutic strategies.
