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

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a neurological disease characterized by high disability and mortality rates. Tomatidine, a natural steroid alkaloid, has been evidenced to have neuroprotective properties. However, the underlying mechanisms of tomatidine in treating SCI remain ambiguous. This study aimed to illustrate the molecular mechanisms of tomatidine in modulating the inflammatory response and promoting functional rehabilitation after SCI. Methods: Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were used to construct an Results: Our data revealed that tomatidine promoted neuronal damage recovery, reduced histopathological changes, elevated cell proliferation, and inhibited the apoptosis and inflammatory factor levels in spinal cord tissues and LPS-induced PC-12 cells. Moreover, tomatidine decreased the expression of CXCL10 Conclusion: Tomatidine can alleviate neuronal damage in SCI by inhibiting apoptosis and inflammation through the NF-κB/CXCL10 pathway. Our findings provide a novel therapeutic target and candidate for the treatment of SCI.
