Transtraumatic Epidural Electrostimulation of the Spinal Cord in a Pig Model.
Article in Bulletin of experimental biology and medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The effect of transtraumatic epidural electrostimulation (TEES) above (T5) and below (L2) spinal cord injury in the lower thoracic region (T8-T9) in combination with treadmill exercise in pigs was evaluated using electrophysiological examination methods and behavioral tests. Two weeks after spinal cord injury, motor evoked potentials of m. soleus were recorded during electrostimulation at the level of T5 and L2 segments, which indicated activation of spinal cord structures above and below the focus of injury. After 6 weeks of TEES in combination with physical training, restoration of the characteristics of M-response and H-reflex of the soleus muscle in response to stimulation of the sciatic nerve, improvement of joint mobility, and appearance of voluntary motor activity in the hindlimbs were observed. Neuromodulation with TEES had been proven to be an effective way to stimulate posttraumatic spinal cord regeneration and can be used in the development of a neurorehabilitation protocol for patients with spinal cord injury.
