Suppressing DBNDD2 promotes neuron growth and axon regeneration in adult mammals.
Article in Frontiers of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Effective axon regeneration is essential for the successful restoration of nerve functions in patients suffering from axon injury-associated neurological diseases. Certain self-regeneration occurs in injured peripheral axonal branches of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons but does not occur in their central axonal branches. By performing rat sciatic nerve or dorsal root axotomy, we determined the expression of the dysbindin domain containing 2 (DBNDD2) in the DRGs after the regenerative peripheral axon injury or the non-regenerative central axon injury, respectively, and found that DBNDD2 is down-regulated in the DRGs after peripheral axon injury but up-regulated after central axon injury. Furthermore, we found that DBNDD2 expression differs in neonatal and adult rat DRGs and is gradually increased during development. Functional analysis through DBNDD2 knockdown revealed that silencing DBNDD2 promotes the outgrowth of neurites in both neonatal and adult rat DRG neurons and stimulates robust axon regeneration in adult rats after sciatic nerve crush injury. Bioinformatic analysis data showed that transcription factor estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) interacts with DBNDD2, exhibits a similar expression trend as DBNDD2 after axon injury, and may targets DBDNN2. These studies indicate that reduced level of DBNDD2 after peripheral axon injury and low abundance of DBNDD2 in neonates contribute to axon regeneration and thus suggest the manipulation of DBNDD2 expression as a promising therapeutic approach for improving recovery after axon damage.
