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.

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.

Abstract

We report the long-term results for a phase 1 study of neural stem cell transplantation for chronic spinal cord injury. The trial was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT01772810. The primary outcome of the trial was to test the feasibility and safety of human spinal cord-derived neural stem cell (NSI-566) transplantation for the treatment of chronic spinal cord injury in four subjects with thoracic two to thoracic twelve spinal cord injury. Here, we report that all four subjects tolerated the stem cell implantation procedure well, and two subjects had durable electromyography-quantifiable evidence of neurological improvement as well as increased neurological motor and sensory scores at five years post-transplantation.
