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

Spinal cord injury (SCI) can lead to the loss of motor, sensory, or autonomic function due to neuronal death. Unfortunately, the adult mammalian spinal cord has limited intrinsic regenerative capacity, making it difficult to rebuild the neural circuits necessary for functional recovery. However, recent evidence suggests that in vivo fate reprogramming of resident cells that are normally non-neurogenic can generate new neurons. This process also improves the pathological microenvironment, and the new neurons can integrate into the local neural network, resulting in better functional outcomes in SCI animal models. In this concise review, we focus on recent advances while also discussing the challenges, pitfalls, and opportunities in the field of in vivo cell fate reprogramming for spinal cord repair.
