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

The role of specific subsets of peripheral nerves in pain related behavior remains unclear. To better understand the contribution of differential activation of fast-conducting, high-threshold mechanoreceptor (AHTMR) input, we hypothesized that neuronal activation would be distinct with nerve injury, and that nociceptive input would predictt behavior in the freely exploring animal. A series of surfaces was used to deliver mechanical input to the hindpaws of rats upon voluntary movement and exploration. Neuronal activation increased as apex surface decreased (0.2, 0.6, 1.0 and 1.5mm) using in vivo recording in L4 DRG neurons, and this relationship was enhanced following partial ligation of L5 (pSNL). In behaving animals, apex size was correlated to time spent on each surface following pSNL, but not with sham. Morphine normalized the discriminatory behavior following pSNL. These data indicate that noxious mechanical activation of AHTMR upon normal movement predicts behavior using paradigms that do not rely on reflexive withdrawal responses suggesting that AHTMR activation and central nervous system input contribute to higher order pain behavior after nerve injury beyond the immediate early pain input long attributed to these neurons.
