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

backgroundNeurotmesis leads to neuromuscular junction (NMJ) degeneration, muscle atrophy, and functional loss. While neurorrhaphy is standard, motor recovery is often incomplete. Heterologous fibrin biopolymer (HFB) shows potential as an adjunct, hence, we investigate HFB's late regenerative effects. MATERIAL/

methodsTwenty adult male Wistar rats (CEUA-FMB 1402/2021) were divided into Control (C), Denervated (D), Neurorrhaphy (N), and Neurorrhaphy + HFB (NB) groups. After 120 days, nerves and muscles were analyzed.

resultsNB (1355 ± 170.4) showed more intact axons than C (927 ± 170.4,

conclusionHFB associated with neurorrhaphy enhanced muscle and nerve regeneration, attenuating muscle atrophy and fibrosis.
