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

To date, no therapy has been proven to be efficacious in fully restoring neurological functions after spinal cord injury (SCI). Systemic high-dose methylprednisolone (MP) improves neurological recovery after acute SCI in both animal and human. MP therapy remains controversial due to its modest effect on functional recovery and significant adverse effects. To overcome the limitation of MP therapy, we have developed a N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide copolymer-based MP prodrug nanomedicine (Nano-MP) that can selectively deliver MP to the SCI lesion when administered systemically in a rat model of acute SCI. Our in vivo data reveal that Nano-MP is significantly more effective than free MP in attenuating secondary injuries and neuronal apoptosis. Nano-MP is superior to free MP in improving functional recovery after acute SCI in rats. These data support Nano-MP as a promising neurotherapeutic candidate, which may provide potent neuroprotection and accelerate functional recovery with improved safety for patients with acute SCI.
