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

The adult lumbar spinal cord plays a critical role in locomotor control and somatosensory integration, whose transcriptional architecture under physiological conditions has been characterized in various studies with restricted numbers of individuals (up to four). Here, we present an integrative single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) atlas of the healthy adult mouse lumbar spinal cord, assembled from over 86,000 nuclei from 16 samples across five public datasets. Using a harmonized computational pipeline, we identify all major spinal cell lineages and resolve 17 transcriptionally distinct neuronal subtypes. A central novelty of our approach is the systematic inclusion of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and pseudogenes. By comparing transcriptomic analyses based on coding-only, non-coding-only, and combined gene sets, we show that ncRNAs, despite accounting to a 10% of the recorded information of each cell, contribute to cell type-specific signatures. This resource offers a high-resolution, ncRNA-inclusive reference for the adult spinal cord and provides a foundation for future studies on spinal plasticity, injury, and regeneration.
