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) triggers complex secondary injury cascades that limit neurological recovery. Tamoxifen (TAM), a selective estrogen receptor modulator, exerts neuroprotective effects in experimental SCI, although its underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Given the emerging role of gut microbiota dysregulation in SCI, we investigated whether TAM-associated recovery is accompanied by alterations in gut microbial composition and predicted function. We conducted a longitudinal, sex-inclusive analysis of 61 Sprague-Dawley rats of both sexes assigned to naïve (NAÏVE), sham-placebo (SHAM PLB), sham-TAM (SHAM TAM), injured-placebo (INJ PLB), or injured-TAM (INJ TAM) groups. Injured animals received a moderate T10 contusion followed by a 21-day TAM (0.71 mg/day) or placebo pellet, and fecal samples were collected at 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days post-injury. Fecal samples were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Results showed that TAM induced sustained shifts in microbial community composition, with treatment-associated divergence emerging at 14 days post-injury (DPI) in females and 21 DPI in males.
