Galanin-Mediated Inflammatory Responses in Zebrafish Spinal Cord Regeneration.
Article in Molecular neurobiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes significant sensory and motor deficits and paralysis due to the limited regenerative capacity of the mammalian central nervous system (CNS). The inflammatory response triggered by the injury is critical for successful spinal cord regeneration. Galanin is a neuropeptide acting primarily as an inhibitory neuromodulator or neurotransmitter in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Galanin is also expressed in various non-neuronal cell types, including immune cells. Galanin has been implicated in neuroprotection and inflammation; however, its contribution to spinal cord regeneration is not well defined. Here, we investigated the function of galanin in SCI repair in zebrafish (Danio rerio), which possess the remarkable ability to regenerate the CNS. We performed spinal cord transection on 3 days post fertilization (dpf) zebrafish larvae and found that the galanin knockout mutant zebrafish showed delayed axonal regeneration and functional recovery, reduced inflammation-related gene expression during the early inflammatory phase, and impaired migration of neutrophils to the lesion site. These results suggest that galanin plays an important role in the regenerative process of the spinal cord by regulating the inflammatory response caused by SCI.
