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

objectivesNoxious stimuli activate small to medium-sized dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. Intense noxious stimuli result in the release of substance P (SP) from the central terminals of these neurons. It binds to the neurokinin type 1 receptor (NK1r) and sensitises the dorsal horn neurons. SP is also released from the peripheral terminals leading to neurogenic inflammation. However, their individual contribution at spinal and peripheral levels to postincisional nociception has not been delineated as yet.

methodsSprague-Dawley rats were administered different doses (3-100 μg) of an NK1r antagonist (L760735) by intrathecal (i.t.) route before hind paw incision. On the basis of its antinociceptive effect on guarding behaviour, the 30 μg dose was selected for further study. In different sets of animals, this was administered i.t. (postemptive) and intrawound (i.w.). Finally, in another group, drug (30 μg) was administered through both i.t and i.w. routes. The antinociceptive effect was assessed and compared. Expression of SP was examined in the spinal cord. Intrawound concentration of SP and inflammatory mediators was also evaluated.

resultsPostemptive i.t. administration significantly attenuated guarding and allodynia. Guarding was alone decreased after i.w. drug treatment. Combined drug administration further attenuated all nociceptive parameters, more so after postemptive treatment. Expression of SP in the spinal cord decreased post incision but increased in the paw tissue. Inflammatory mediators like the nerve growth factor also increased after incision.

conclusionIn conclusion, SP acting through the NK1r appears to be an important mediator of nociception, more so at the spinal level. These findings could have clinical relevance.
