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

Inflammation is associated with peripheral neuropathy, however the interplay among cytokines, chemokines, and neurons is still unclear. We hypothesized that this neuroinflammatory interaction can be defined by computational modeling based on the dynamics of protein expression in the sciatic nerve of rats subjected to chronic constriction injury. Using Dynamic Bayesian Network inference, we identified interleukin (IL)-18 as a central node associated with neuropathic pain in this animal model. Immunofluorescence supported a role for inflammasome activation and induction of IL-18 at the site of injury. Combined in vivo and in silico approaches may thus highlight novel targets in peripheral neuropathy.
