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
backgroundTraumatic spinal cord injury (SCI)-induced neuroinflammation results in secondary neurological destruction and functional disorder. Previous findings showed that microglial pyroptosis plays a crucial role in neuroinflammation. Thus, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the mechanisms associated with post-SCI microglial pyroptosis. The Fanconi Anemia Group C complementation group gene (FANCC) has been previously reported to have an anti-inflammation effect; however, whether it can regulate microglial pyroptosis remains unknown. Therefore, we probed the mechanism associated with FANCC-mediated microglial pyroptosis and neuroinflammation in vitro and in vivo in SCI mice.
methodsMicroglial pyroptosis was assessed by western blotting (WB) and immunofluorescence (IF), whereas microglial-induced neuroinflammation was evaluated by WB, Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and IF. Besides, flow cytometry, TdT-mediated dUTP Nick-End Labeling staining and WB were employed to examine the level of neuronal apoptosis. Morphological changes in neurons were assessed by hematoxylin-eosin and Luxol Fast Blue staining. Finally, locomotor function rehabilitation was analyzed using the Basso Mouse Scale and Louisville Swim Scale.
resultsOverexpression of FANCC suppressed microglial pyroptosis via inhibiting p38/NLRP3 expression, which in turn reduced neuronal apoptosis. By contrast, knockdown of FANCC increased the degree of neuronal apoptosis by aggravating microglial pyroptosis. Besides, increased glial scar formation, severe myelin sheath destruction and poor axon outgrowth were observed in the mice transfected with short hairpin RNA of FANCC post SCI, which caused reduced locomotor function recovery.
conclusionsTaken together, a previously unknown role of FANCC was identified in SCI, where its deficiency led to microglia pyroptosis, neuronal apoptosis and neurological damage. Mechanistically, FANCC mediated microglia pyroptosis and the inflammatory response via regulating the p38/NLRP3 pathway.
