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 often causes persistent neurological dysfunction, whereas the developing central nervous system retains greater plasticity. This study investigated whether spontaneous hindlimb motor recovery occurs after complete spinal cord transection in neonatal mice and whether such recovery is accompanied by structural remodeling of the lumbar spinal cord distal to the lesion. C57BL/6J mice underwent complete T9 spinal cord transection at postnatal day 7, and recovery was assessed by Basso Mouse Scale scoring, CatWalk gait analysis, foot-fault testing, immunofluorescence, and electromyography. Compared with adult mice subjected to the same injury, neonatal mice showed progressive partial improvement in hindlimb motor function, including locomotor performance, gait coordination, and foot placement accuracy. Meanwhile, this recovery was accompanied by preservation of lumbar motor neurons and structural changes in the local neural network. Syn
