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

Recently, it has been reported that both thrombin-sensitive protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR-1) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) are present not only in platelets, but also in the CNS, which indicates that they have various physiological functions. In this study, we evaluated whether PAR-1/PDGF in the spinal cord could contribute to the development of a neuropathic pain-like state in mice. Thermal hyperalgesia and tactile allodynia induced by sciatic nerve ligation were significantly suppressed by repeated intrathecal injection of hirudin, which is characterized as a specific and potent thrombin inhibitor. Furthermore, a single intrathecal injection of thrombin produced long-lasting hyperalgesia and allodynia, and these effects were also inhibited by hirudin in normal mice. In nerveligated mice, the increase in the binding of [35S]GTPgammaS to membranes of the spinal cord induced by thrombin and PAR-1-like immunoreactivity (IR) in the spinal cord were each greater than those in sham-operated mice. Thermal hyperalgesia and tactile allodynia induced by sciatic nerve ligation were also suppressed by repeated intrathecal injection of either the PDGF alpha receptor (PDGFRalpha)/Fc chimera protein or the PDGFR-dependent tyrosine kinase inhibitor AG17 [(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzylidene)-malononitrile]. Moreover, thermal hyperalgesia and tactile allodynia induced by thrombin in normal mice were virtually eliminated by intrathecal pretreatment with PDGFRalpha/Fc. In immunohistochemical studies, PAR-1-like IR-positive cells in the spinal dorsal horn were mostly colocated on PDGF-like IR-positive neuronal cells. These data provide novel evidence that PAR-1 and PDGF-A-mediated signaling pathway within spinal cord neurons may be directly implicated in neuropathic pain after nerve injury in mice.
