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: Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are receiving increasing attention in peripheral nerve regeneration, but they were limited due to the low corrosion resistance and rapid degradation. In this study, GDNF-Gel/HA-Mg was prepared and its value in peripheral nerve defects repairment was explored both Methods: A hydroxyapatite (HA) coating was first applied to the pure Mg surface, followed by the formation of gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) loaded with glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) on the HA-coated Mg surface. GDNF-Gel/HA-Mg corrosion resistance was explored. The effect of GDNF-Gel/HA-Mg conduit on Schwann cell proliferation and migration abilities were investigated. And sciatic nerve defects models were established to explored the role of GDNF-Gel/HA-Mg conduit in peripheral nerve defects repairment. Findings: The electrochemical, immersion, and hydrogen evolution experiments indicated that the corrosion resistance in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) of pure Mg was significantly improved by the GDNF-Gel/HA coating. Cell cycle, Cell Count Kit-8 (CCK-8), and clone formation assays indicated that GDNF-Gel/HA-Mg promoted the proliferation of Schwann cells. Scratch and Transwell assay results demonstrated that GDNF-Gel/HA-Mg promoted Schwann cell migration ability dose-dependently. GDNF-Gel/HA-Mg was found to enhance the secretion of nerve growth factor (NGF) and the expression of p75 Interpretation: The GDNF-Gel/HA-Mg conduit prepared in this study exhibited good hydrophilicity and corrosion resistance and greatly enhanced the proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities of Schwann cells, as well as peripheral nerve regeneration.
