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

Nerve defect is a relatively serious injury in peripheral nerve injury, which often leads to the neuron apoptosis of the corresponding spinal cord segment and the difficulty of long-distance regeneration of the damaged nerve fibers, collectively resulting in poor recovery of nerve function after surgery. All experimental rats were randomly assigned to the following groups: Control, Conduit, Local acupoints electroacupuncture (EA) (Local-EA), and governor vessel (GV) combined with local acupoints electroacupuncture (GV+Local-EA) groups. A 10-mm defect model was established in the left median nerve, and a chitosan nerve conduit was used to bridge the defect. After 4 weeks, nerve regeneration and functional recovery were evaluated using immunofluorescence histochemistry, behavioral assays, and electrophysiological measurements. Results showed that the GV+Local-EA group exhibited significantly elevated the number of ChAT-positive motor neurons and enhanced the GDNF expression within the C8 spinal cord anterior horn compared with other experimental groups (
