Magnetic resonance imaging tissue bridges: An emerging biomarker for prognostication in traumatic spinal cord injury.
Article in World journal of orthopedics, 2026. 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
Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) remains one of the most challenging conditions in neuro-orthopedics, and functional recovery outcomes are mainly unpredictable. A recent prospective study provided compelling evidence that quantitative magnetic resonance imaging biomarkers, particularly midsagittal tissue bridge dimensions, could serve as valuable predictors of neurological recovery following acute SCI. By correlating tissue bridge measurements at 1 month and 6 months with motor and sensory improvements, a clinically meaningful imaging-based prognostic model was developed. Moreover, the inverse association among canal compromise, lesion size, and functional outcomes highlighted the importance of early structural preservation in SCI management. This study emphasized the growing potential of magnetic resonance imaging as both a diagnostic and prognostic tool, with significant implications for patient stratification in clinical and research settings. Future research incorporating tissue bridge biomarkers with advanced imaging techniques and neuroregenerative therapies may further refine personalized rehabilitation strategies for SCI patients.
