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

In adult mammals, programmed cell death (PCD) facilitates tissue remodeling and regeneration in spinal cord injury (SCI), but excessive activation impedes SCI repair. However, no comprehensive pan-PCD atlas exists that encompasses diverse cell death patterns to fully elucidate PCD in adult SCI and develop strategies for modulating the excessive PCD response. Here, we identified neonatal mice with balanced PCD post-SCI as an ideal model for adult SCI. Accordingly, we developed "Thanatoset", an SCI-specific gene panel to map tissue and cellular pan-PCD dynamics across neonatal and adult mice. Microglia were identified as pivotal mediators of pan-PCD, showing greater vulnerability in adults than in neonates. According to computational drug screening, withaferin A can revert microglial pan-PCD in adults to a neonatal-like regenerative state. Histological, functional, and molecular analyses corroborated that withaferin A enhances SCI recovery in adults by modulating microglial pan-PCD. These findings highlight the therapeutic potential of the pan-PCD framework for developing strategies to restore regeneration and improve SCI outcomes.
