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

Mammalian central nervous system (CNS) axons cannot spontaneously regenerate after injury, creating an unmet need to identify molecular regulators to promote axon regeneration and reduce the lasting impact of CNS injuries. While tubulin polymerization promoting protein family member 3 (Tppp3) is known to promote axon outgrowth in amphibians, its role in mammalian axon regeneration remains unknown. Here we investigated Tppp3 in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) neuroprotection and axonal regeneration using an optic nerve crush (ONC) model in the rodent. Single-cell RNA sequencing identified the expression of Tppp3 in RGCs of mice, macaques, and humans. Tppp3 overexpression enhanced neurite outgrowth in mouse primary RGCs in vitro, promoted axon regeneration, and improved RGC survival after ONC. Bulk RNA sequencing indicated that Tppp3 overexpression upregulates axon regeneration genes such as Bmp4 and neuroinflammatory pathways. Our findings advance regenerative medicine by developing a new therapeutic strategy for RGC neuroprotection and axon regeneration.
