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) is a devastating injury that causes permanent neurological dysfunction. To develop a new treatment strategy for SCI, a clinical trial of transplantation of human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural precursor cells (NPCs) in patients in the subacute phase of SCI was recently initiated. The formation of synaptic connections with host neural tissues is one of the therapeutic mechanisms of cell transplantation, and this beneficial efficacy has been directly demonstrated using a chemogenetic tool. This research focuses on the establishment of cell therapy for chronic SCI, which is more challenging owing to cavity and scar formation. Thus, neurogenic NPC transplantation is more effective in forming functional synapses with the host neurons. Furthermore, combinatory rehabilitation therapy is useful to enhance the efficacy of this strategy, and a valid rehabilitative training program has been established for SCI animal models that received NPC transplantation in the chronic phase. Therefore, the use of regenerative medicine for chronic SCI is expected to increase.
