Experimental provenance
The investigator confirmed that all included gait and weight records came from one source experiment, with T9 injury and uniform acquisition. The included controls received no additional control procedures or medication. SCI induction and scheduled CatWalk testing, weighing and bladder care remained part of the approved experimental work.
The injury protocol was a 28-g clip applied for 60 seconds. Weight-donor rats were 4–6 weeks old at the start of the experiment. This age statement applies to the donors; recipient age and exact age at injury were not established by that confirmation.
Assigned baseline weights used 40 donor values and relative changes from ten complete donor trajectories. Fifteen visits at day 35 used extrapolated donor weights. These values were not each recipient animal’s own measured weight, and donor–recipient overlap was not established.
Data and code access
Local packages for GitHub code and Zenodo data are prepared. They passed 41 independent checks and a complete reproduction run from a separate copy.
The research code and data packages have not been uploaded. Repository links, a Dataset DOI and the complete Dataset creator list remain pending. No GitHub or Zenodo download is available from this dashboard.
The original donor-weight workbook is omitted for now. Exact saved assigned weights support reproduction from the analysis-ready cohort; the package does not reconstruct the original donor-weight transport.
Remaining before submission
- Author metadata and declarations. Finalize names and order, contributions, disclosures, remaining postal/contact details, originality and simultaneous-submission declarations.
- Remaining experimental reporting. Add an available experiment/publication mapping and common numerical acquisition settings. The donor-age query is resolved.
- Repository access and citation. Complete Dataset creators and add the real GitHub URL and Zenodo DOI after deposition.
- Journal requirements. Check current article, figure, reporting-form and upload requirements.
- Final approval. Verify the completed files and obtain approval from every author.
A feature-saturation analysis is optional and has not been run. The current manuscript retains the full 24-feature analysis.
Scientific scope
The paper presents postoperative phase information, ordinal probability quality, within-animal temporal ordering and sensitivity to assigned weight adjustment. It does not establish a validated continuous recovery scale, a causal weight effect, equivalence between weight representations or external generalizability.
