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

We hypothesized that locally administrated β-adrenoreceptor agonist can modulate the inflammatory nociceptive parameters in carrageenan (CG)-induced peripheral inflammatory pain. This study was therefore aimed to assess the preventive and therapeutic effects of a β-agonist, dobutamine, by investigating its pretreatment and posttreatment actions on the inflammation-induced hypersensitivities (thermal hyperalgesia, mechanical allodynia) to cutaneous stimulation, edema, and several biochemical oxidant and anti-oxidant parameters in a rat model of CG-induced hind paw inflammation. Effects of dobutamine were compared with those of esmolol, a β-adrenoreceptor antagonist. CG injection to healthy rats lowered the thermal latencies (from 10.1 ± 0.2 to 4.9 ± 0.1 s) and mechanical thresholds (from 32.9 ± 0.5 to 18.9 ± 1.3 g) and caused the hyperalgesia and allodynia. In CG-induced inflamed paws, while intraplantar esmolol treatment (1 mg) produced significant decreases in latencies (4.1 ± 0.1 s) and thresholds (15.2 ± 2.4 g), dobutamine (1 mg) increased the latencies (11.3 ± 0.5 s) and thresholds (26.3 ± 2.8 g). In contrast to esmolol, dobutamine increased the superoxide dismutase level and decreased the myeloperoxidase, malondialdehyde, and nitric oxide levels in CG-induced inflamed paws. The present results can reveal that β-adrenoreceptors may play a role in inflammatory nociceptive processes, and locally treated β-adrenoreceptor agonists such as dobutamine can be a preferable, appropriate choice for the management of inflammatory nociception due to their preventive and therapeutic effects on CG-induced peripheral inflammatory nociception.
