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

P2X receptors are expressed on different functional groups of primary afferent fibers. P2X receptor-mediated sensory inputs can be either innocuous or nociceptive, depending on which dorsal horn regions receive these inputs. We provide a brief review of P2X receptor-mediated purinergic sensory pathways to different regions in the dorsal horn. These P2X purinergic pathways are identified in normal animals, which provides insights into their physiological functions. Future studies on P2X purinergic pathways in animal models of pathological conditions may provide insights on how P2X receptors play a role in pathological pain states.
