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

Nerve injury and inflammation can both induce neuropathic pain via the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In the process, G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) were involved in pain signal transduction. GPCR kinase (GRK) 6 is a member of the GRK family that regulates agonist-induced desensitization and signaling of GPCRs. However, its expression and function in neuropathic pain have not been reported. In this study, we performed a chronic constriction injury (CCI) model in adult male rats and investigated the dynamic change of GRK6 expression in spinal cord. GRK6 was predominantly expressed in the superficial layers of the lumbar spinal cord dorsal horn neurons and its expression was decreased bilaterally following induction of CCI. The changes of GRK6 were mainly in IB4 and P substrate positive areas in spinal cord dorsal horn. And over-expression of GRK6 in spinal cord by lentivirus intrathecal injection attenuated the pain response induced by CCI. In addition, the level of TNF-α underwent the negative pattern of GRK6 in spinal cord. And neutralized TNF-α by antibody intrathecal injection up-regulated GRK6 expression and attenuated the mechanical allodynia and heat hyperalgesia in CCI model. All the data indicated that down-regulation of neuronal GRK6 expression induced by cytokine may be a potential mechanism that contributes to increasing neuronal signaling in neuropathic pain.
