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

Successful axonal regeneration following injury requires the effective allocation of energy. How axons withstand the initial disruption in mitochondrial energy production caused by the injury and subsequently initiate regrowth is poorly understood. Transcriptomic data showed increased expression of glycolytic genes after optic nerve crush in retinal ganglion cells with the co-deletion of Pten and Socs3. Using retinal cultures in a multicompartment microfluidic device, we observed increased regrowth and enhanced mitochondrial trafficking in the axons of Pten and Socs3 co-deleted neurons. While wild-type axons relied on mitochondrial metabolism, after injury, in the absence of Pten and Socs3, energy production was supported by local glycolysis. Specific inhibition of lactate production hindered injury survival and the initiation of regrowth while slowing down glycolysis upstream impaired regrowth initiation, axonal elongation, and energy production. Together, these observations reveal that glycolytic ATP, combined with sustained mitochondrial transport, is essential for injury-induced axonal regrowth, providing new insights into the metabolic underpinnings of axonal regeneration.
