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

Proprioceptive dysfunction is a common rehabilitation issue in neurological injury, and the muscle spindle (MS) is considered a critical structure in this dysfunction. The present study aimed to investigate the morphological alterations of MS in two classical neurological diseases: denervation and stroke, and to understand the role of MS in these two diseases preliminarily. The denervation and stroke model animals were constructed by using a surgical operation and middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) protocol, respectively. The muscles from the affected-side limb and the healthy-side limb were harvested and then fixed, embedded, sliced, stained, and subjected to other laboratory analysis at the predetermined time point. The capsule thickness, cross-sectional area (CSA) of intrafusal fiber and extrafusal fiber, the collagen area percentage, and the hyaluronic acid were investigated in the denervation and stroke animal model. In denervation rats, the capsule thickness in the denervation-side limb increased significantly with the
