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

Following injury, axolotls are able to functionally regenerate their spinal cord, regaining both motor and sensory control. In contrast, humans respond to severe spinal cord injury by forming a glial scar, which prevents further damage but also inhibits any regenerative growth, resulting in loss of function caudal to the injury site. The axolotl has become a popular system to elucidate the underlying cellular and molecular events that contribute to successful CNS regeneration. However, the experimental injuries (tail amputation and transection) that are utilized in axolotls do not mimic the blunt trauma that is often sustained in humans. Here, we report a more clinically relevant model for spinal cord injuries in the axolotl using a weight-drop technique. This reproducible model allows precise control over the severity of the injury by regulating the drop height, weight, compression, and position of the injury.
