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

It has been reported that Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), which plays an important role in glial activation in neuropathic pain, is significantly increased in cancer pain. The present study was designed to assess the role of TLR4 in cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP) by intrathecal administration of TLR4 signaling pathway blocker naloxone or lipopolysaccharide Rhodobacter sphaeroides (LPS-RS). The rats developed significant mechanical allodynia from day 8 after intratibial Walker 256 inoculation. Intrathecal injection of naloxone or LPS-RS at day 8 significantly attenuated mechanical allodynia as shown by increased paw withdrawal thresholds. In contrast, the same pharmacological treatment showed no or slight pain relieving effect at day 16. Our findings demonstrate that the spinal TLR4 signaling pathway contributes to the mechanism underlying CIBP in a stage-dependent manner in rats, and it may be an efficacious target at early stage for the treatment in the future.
