Muscle-Restricted Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate Oxidase 4 Knockout Partially Corrects Muscle Contractility After Spinal Cord Injury in Mice.
Article in Neurotrauma reports, 2024. 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
Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in severe atrophy of skeletal muscle in paralyzed regions, and a decrease in the force generated by muscle per unit of cross-sectional area. Oxidation of skeletal muscle ryanodine 1 receptors (RyR1) reduces contractile force as a result of reduced binding of calstabin 1 to RyR1. One cause of RyR1 oxidation is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase 4 (Nox4). We have previously shown that, in rats, RyR1 was oxidized and bound less to calstabin 1 at 56 days after SCI by spinal cord transection. Here, we used a conditional knockout (KO) mouse model of Nox4 in skeletal muscle to investigate the role of Nox4 in reduced muscle specific force after SCI. Peak twitch force of extensor digitorum longus muscles in control mice after SCI was reduced by 42% compared with sham-operated controls, but was increased by ∼43% in SCI Nox4 conditional KO mice compared with SCI controls, although it remained less than that for sham-operated controls. Unlike what was previously observed in rats after SCI, the expression of Nox4 was not increased in gastrocnemius muscle, and binding of calstabin 1 to RyR1 was not reduced in this muscle. The results suggest that Nox4 is directly involved in reduction in muscle twitch force after SCI, although further studies are needed to understand the mechanistic basis for this linkage.
