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

backgroundCentral pain syndrome is characterized by a combination of abnormal pain sensations, and pain medications often provide little or no relief. Accumulating animal and clinical studies have shown that impairments of the spinothalamic tract (STT) and thalamocingulate pathway causes somatosensory dysfunction in central post-stroke pain (CPSP), but the involvement of other neuronal circuitries in CPSP has not yet been systematically examined. The aim of the present study was to evaluate changes in brain activity and neuronal circuitry using [(14)C]iodoantipyrine (IAP) in an animal model of CPSP.

resultsRats were subjected to lateral thalamic hemorrhage to investigate the characteristics of CPSP. Thermal and mechanical hyperalgesia developed in rats that were subjected to thalamic hemorrhagic lesion. The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), striatum, thalamus, hypothalamus, and amygdala were more active in the CPSP group compared with rats that were not subjected to lateral thalamic hemorrhage. The inter-regional correlation analysis showed that regional cerebral blood flow in the mPFC was highly correlated with the amygdala in the right brain, and the right brain showed complex connections among subregions of the ACC. Rats with CPSP exhibited strong activation of the thalamocingulate and mPFC-amygdala pathways.

conclusionsThese results corroborate previous findings that the STT and thalamocingulate pathway are involved in the pathophysiological mechanisms of CPSP symptoms. The mPFC, amygdala, and periaqueductal gray emerged as having important correlations in pain processing in CPSP. The present data provide a basis for a neural correlation hypothesis of CPSP, with implications for CPSP treatment.
