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

1. The function and role of P2X receptors in the spinal transmission of nociception was investigated using the selective P2X receptor agonists, alpha,beta-methylene ATP (alpha,beta-me ATP) and beta, gamma-methylene-L-ATP (beta,gamma-me-L-ATP) and the P2X receptor antagonists pyridoxal-phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulphonate (PPADS) and suramin. 2. Intrathecal administration of 5 and 50 microg of beta,gamma-me-L-ATP produced a significant facilitation of the C-fibre evoked response and a tendency towards increased excitability of the post-discharge, but not Abeta-fibre evoked response of dorsal horn neurones recorded in normal animals. Administration of similar doses of alpha,beta-me ATP did not produce an overall change in the response of the neuronal population. 3. Peripheral administration of 20 microg of these agonists into the paw of the rat evoked firing in the dorsal horn neurones. 4. Intrathecal administration of the antagonists, suramin (50 and 500 microg) and PPADS (5, 50 and 500 microg), to normal animals and to animals with a model of neuropathy induced by spinal nerve ligation did not alter the evoked neuronal responses. In contrast, intrathecal administration of 500 microg of suramin to animals 3 h after the induction of carrageenan inflammation produced a significant inhibition of the C-fibre evoked response of the neurones. Similar inhibitions were also seen following high doses of intrathecal PPADS, although this did not reach significance. 5. These results suggest that spinal P2X receptors may play a role in the modulation of spinal nociceptive transmission following the development of inflammation, but that these receptors play at most a minor role in spinal nociceptive processing in normal and neuropathic animals.
