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

unlabelledChronic pain is extremely difficult to manage, in part due to lack of progress in reversing the underlying pathophysiology. Since translation of messenger ribonucleic acids (mRNAs) in the peripheral terminal of the nociceptor plays a role in the transition from acute to chronic pain, we tested the hypothesis that transient inhibition of translation in the peripheral terminal of the nociceptor could reverse hyperalgesic priming, a model of transition from acute to chronic pain. We report that injection of translation inhibitors rapamycin and cordycepin, which inhibit translation by different mechanisms, at the peripheral terminal of the primed nociceptor produces reversal of priming in the rat that outlasted the duration of action of these drugs to prevent the development of priming. These data support the suggestion that interruption of translation in the nociceptor can reverse a preclinical model of at least 1 form of chronic pain. PERSPECTIVE: This study provides evidence that ongoing protein translation in the sensory neuron terminals is involved in pain chronification, and local treatment that transiently interrupts this translation may be a useful therapy to chronic pain.
