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

This study assessed the potential antinociceptive effects of liquiritigenin, a plant-derived compound with transient receptor potential melastatin 3 blocking activity in a rat model of persistent neuropathic pain. Chronic constriction injury (CCI) to the sciatic nerve was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats to model human peripheral neuropathic pain. Liquiritigenin (1, 3, or 9 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally to examine the effects on mechanical, thermal, and cold hyperalgesia using the von Frey test, plantar test, and cold plate test, respectively. A rotarod test was also conducted to examine motor function. Liquiritigenin dose dependently alleviated mechanical, thermal and cold hyperalgesia. In addition, daily repeated treatment with liquiritigenin did not demonstrate significant antinociceptive tolerance in the measures of hyperalgesia. Within the doses studied, liquiritigenin did not significantly affect motor performance. These results suggest that liquiritigenin may be potentially useful novel treatments for neuropathic pain.
