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

Olfactory dysfunction is a common outcome of brain injuries, negatively affecting quality of life. The adult mammalian nervous system has limited capacity for olfactory recovery, making it challenging to study olfactory regeneration and recovery. In contrast, zebrafish are ideal for such studies due to its extensive and lifelong regenerative abilities. In this work, we describe a model of excitotoxic injury in the olfactory bulb (OB) using quinolinic acid lesions in adult zebrafish of both sexes. We observed extensive neurodegeneration in both the OB and olfactory epithelium, including a reduction of bulbar volume, neuronal death, and impaired olfactory function. Recovery mechanisms involved tissue remodeling, cell proliferation, and neurogenesis, leading to full restoration of olfactory function by 21 d. This study provides a model to further investigate the effects of excitotoxicity on olfactory dysfunction and highlights zebrafish's remarkable regenerative abilities, providing insights into potential therapeutic strategies for restoring olfactory function following brain injuries.
