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

Axon regrowth in the central nervous system (CNS) is constrained by robust regulatory networks. Here we show that optimal neurite outgrowth in rodent and human CNS neurons is achieved by co-inhibition of kinases across four closely related clades within the protein kinase A, G, and C (AGC) family. The kinases derive from ancestral regulators of cytoskeletal dynamics, resource allocation, and polarized cell growth. Their shared domain architecture makes polypharmacology (co-engagement by a single small molecule) feasible. Phenotype-guided optimization of a tool compound with established efficacy in mouse spinal cord injury models yielded TMP-316, a drug candidate engaging these AGC kinases with selectivity against the broader kinome. A single intrathecal dose of TMP-316 produced sustained motor recovery in a rat cervical hemicontusion model. These findings reveal conditions under which polypharmacology is simultaneously required and enabled by shared evolutionary origins, illuminating a therapeutic discovery principle for pathologies governed by functionally overlapping targets.
