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 irreversible neurological dysfunction driven by sequential primary and secondary insults, with neuronal death and neuroinflammation as the central pathological determinants. Despite advances in neuroregeneration research, an incomplete understanding of the molecular regulators underlying these processes limits the development of effective SCI treatment strategies. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) function as critical "dynamic molecular switches" that spatiotemporally regulate protein function and signaling cascades, shaping the SCI microenvironment. Emerging evidence suggests that interdependent PTM networks-rather than isolated modifications-regulate the balance between deterioration and repair. This review synthesizes current insights into seven major PTMs implicated in neuronal death and neuroinflammation after SCI, emphasizing their cooperative crosstalk and the methodological challenges in decoding their temporal dynamics. We propose a "spatiotemporally regulated PTM network" framework to guide therapeutic interventions, highlighting multiplex PTM modulation as a promising strategy to enhance neuronal survival, reduce neuroinflammation, and promote functional recovery after SCI. This review deepens the understanding of PTM crosstalk in SCI pathology and provides new perspectives for developing novel PTM detection and clinical therapeutic strategies.
