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

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with life-threatening and permanent disabilities. Given the limited capacity of neurons to regenerate, effective treatments for TBI are lacking. Neural stem cells (NSCs) can differentiate into fully functioning neurons and thus hold promise for TBI treatment. Nonetheless, NSC differentiation and proliferation are slow and inefficient. Studies have shown that piezoelectric stimulation is capable of promoting the differentiation and proliferation of NSCs. Here, we describe barium titanate-reduced graphene oxide (BTO/rGO) hybrid piezoelectric nanostickers that promote NSC proliferation and differentiation. These hybrid nanostickers attach to NSC membranes, serving as long-term generators of piezoelectric potentials upon ultrasound stimulation. BTO/rGO nanostickers promote rapid neuronal differentiation and maturation by activating the voltage-gated calcium channel/Ca
