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

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of the exogenous overexpression of nerve growth factors NT-3 and IGF-1 on the recovery of nerve function after spinal cord injury (SCI) and identify the potential mechanism involved. Methods: Sixty-four female SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: an SCI group, an adeno-associated viral (AAV)-RFP and AAV-GFP injection group, an AAV-IGF-1 and AAV-NT-3 injection group, and a Sham group. After grouping, the rats were subjected to a 10-week electrophysiological and behavioral evaluation to comprehensively evaluate the effects of the intervention on motor function, spasticity, mechanical pain, and thermal pain. Ten weeks later, samples were taken for immunofluorescence (IF) staining and Western blot (WB) detection, focusing on the expression of KCC2, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT2C receptors in motor neurons and the spinal cord. Results: Electrophysiological and behavioral data indicated that the AAV-IGF-1 and AAV-NT-3 groups showed better recovery of motor function ( Conclusion: Data analysis showed that the overexpression of NT-3 and IGF-1 may improve motor function after SCI and alleviate spasms in a rat model; however, these animals were more sensitive to mechanical pain and thermal pain. These behavioral changes may be related to increased numbers of KCC2, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT2C receptors in the spinal cord tissue. The results of this study may provide a new theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of SCI.
