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

While the onset of mechanical hyperalgesia induced by endothelin-1 was delayed in female rats, compared to males, the duration was much longer. Given that the repeated test stimulus used to assess nociceptive threshold enhances hyperalgesia, a phenomenon we have referred to as stimulus-induced enhancement of hyperalgesia, we also evaluated for sexual dimorphism in the impact of repeated application of the mechanical test stimulus on endothelin-1 hyperalgesia. In male and female rats, endothelin-1 induced hyperalgesia is already maximal at 30 min. At this time stimulus-induced enhancement of hyperalgesia, which is observed only in male rats, persisted for 3-4h. In contrast, in females, it develops only after a very long (15 day) delay, and is still present, without attenuation, at 45 days. Ovariectomy eliminated these differences between male and female rats. These findings suggest marked, ovarian-dependent sexual dimorphism in endothelin-1 induced mechanical hyperalgesia and its enhancement by repeated mechanical stimulation.
