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

Peripheral nerve regeneration after injury is still a clinical problem. The application of autologous nerve grafting, the gold standard treatment, is greatly restricted. Acellular nerve allografts (ANAs) are considered promising alternatives, but they are difficult to achieve satisfactory therapeutic outcomes, which may be attributed to their compact inherent ultrastructure and substantial loss of extracellular matrix (ECM) components. Regarding these deficiencies, this study developed an optimized multichannel ANA by a modified decellularization method. These innovative ANAs were demonstrated to retain more ECM bioactive molecules and regenerative factors, with effective elimination of cellular antigens. The presence of microchannels with larger pore size allowed ANAs to gain higher porosity and better swelling performance, which improves their internal ultrastructure. Their mechanical properties were more similar to those of native nerves. Moreover, the optimized ANAs exhibited good biocompatibility and possessed significant advantages in supporting the proliferation and migration of Schwann cells in vitro. The in vivo results further confirmed their superior capacity to promote axon regrowth and myelination as well as restore innervation of target muscles, leading to better functional recovery than the conventional ANAs. Overall, this study demonstrates that the optimized multichannel ANAs have great potential for clinical application and offer new insight into the further improvement of ANAs.
