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

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a major traumatic insult that leads to significant motor and sensory impairments. Following SCI, an inhibitory microenvironment develops, accompanied by substantial neuronal loss. A single therapeutic approach may not achieve substantial functional recovery. Therefore, strategies aimed at addressing the inhibitory environment and enhancing cellular engraftment are crucial for optimal recovery. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of combining an injectable fibrin hydrogel with subventricular zone-derived neural stem cells (SVZ-NSCs) and CT04, a RhoA inhibitor, in a rhesus monkey model of SCI. After characterizing SVZ-NSCs and optimizing the CT04 dosage, we administered the combination therapy during the sub-acute phase of SCI. Our results indicated that this combination treatment significantly improved neuronal differentiation and integration of grafted NSCs and promoted axonal regeneration. Compared to cell transplantation or CT04 treatment alone, animals receiving the combination therapy exhibited superior functional recovery. These findings highlight a promising approach for treating SCI by combining therapies to enhance NSC transplantation and axonal repair using an advanced injectable hydrogel.
