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

A biphasic pattern of reorganization in the somatosensory cortical area, representing the hindlimb or forelimb, has been shown after complete spinal cord injury (cSCI) in rats. The present study hypothesized that extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF) would favourably modulate this biphasic pattern of cortical plasticity by altering brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurite outgrowth inhibitor A (isoform of reticulon- 4) (Nogo-A) levels, leading to functional and electrophysiological recovery in cSCI rats. Adult male Wistar rats underwent cSCI at the T-13 spinal level, followed by ELF-MF exposure for either 5, 12, or 32 days, for analysis of the biphasic pattern. A set of motor and sensorimotor behavioural tests, spinal cord lesion volume, cortical electroencephalography (EEG), expression of neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and inhibitory molecule (Nogo-A) were recorded at each time period.
