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

Syringomyelia is a common clinical lesion associated with cerebrospinal fluid flow abnormalities. By a reversible model with chronic extradural compression to mimic human canalicular syringomyelia, we explored the spatiotemporal pathological alterations during syrinx development. The most dynamic alterations were observed in ependymal cells (EPCs), oligodendrocyte lineage, and microglia, as a response to neuroinflammation. Among different cell types, EPC subtypes experienced obvious dynamic alterations, which were accompanied by ultrastructural changes involving the ependymal cytoskeleton, cilia, and dynamic injury in parenchyma primarily around the central canal, corresponding to the single-cell transcripts. After effective decompression, the syrinx resolved with the recovery of pathological damage and overall neurological function, implying that for syringomyelia in the early stage, there was still endogenous repair potential coexisting with immune microenvironment imbalance. Ependymal remodeling and cilia restoration might be important for better resolution of syringomyelia and parenchymal injury recovery.
