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

Interleukin 6 (IL-6) has a critical role in pain mechanisms. IL-6 signals through the Janus-activated kinases 2 (JAK2) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway. The contribution of JAK2 signaling in inflammation-induced hyperalgesia has not been addressed previously. The role of this pathway was investigated using the JAK2 inhibitor, AG490, in a rat model of inflammatory pain. Unilateral hind paw inflammatory pain was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by intraplantar (i.pl.) injection of 3.5% ʎ-carrageenan. Inflamed rats received an i.pl. injection of either 3.5% of dimethylsulfoxide or AG490 (1-10 µg). The antinociceptive effects of AG490 were assessed by 2 pain behavioral assays 4 h later: The thermal and mechanical hyperalgesia tests. AG490 (1-10 µg) significantly attenuated ʎ-carrageenan-induced thermal hyperalgesia in a dose-dependent manner. AG490 also reduced mechanical hyperalgesia. Co-administration of opioid receptor antagonist naloxone (10 µg) and AG490 (10 µg) did not reverse AG490-produced antinociceptive activity, suggesting that the µ-opioid receptor is not responsible for the anti-hyperalgesic effects of AG490. Therefore, we suggest that AG490 produces these effects by blocking JAK2 signaling. In conclusion, JAK2 inhibitors may represent a novel class of non-narcotic drugs to treat inflammatory pain.
