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

STUDY

designSystematic Review.

objectivesTo thoroughly assess the existing literature regarding the impact of anti-RhoA/ROCK agents or procedures on functional recovery in animal models of SCI.

settingSina Trauma and Surgery Research Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences.

methodsA comprehensive search was conducted in Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science Core Collection utilizing a combination of keywords. All in-vivo animal studies of acute or chronic SCI that evaluated the pharmacological effects of Rho/ROCK inhibitors in English literature were included in this study.

resultsTotally, 2320 articles were identified, of which, 60 papers were included for further analysis. A total of 47 (78%) studies were conducted merely on rats, 9 (15%) on mice, 3 (5%) used both, and the remaining used other animals. Y-27632, Fasudil, C3 Transferase and its derivatives (C
