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

Peripheral neuropathic pain is a complex disease, and treated based on underlying diseases. Emerging evidences suggest that hyperbaric oxygen alleviates neuropathic pain. However, its cellular and molecular mechanism on pain relief is unknown. We hypothesize that hyperbaric oxygen alleviates neuropathic pain via activating autophagy flux and inhibiting mTOR pathway. Hyperbaric oxygen effectively inhibited nerve injury induced autophagy impairment and mTOR pathway activation in a rat spinal nerve ligation (SNL) model. Moreover, intrathecal injection of rapamycin, an autophagy inducer, enhanced hyperbaric oxygen effect by further decreasing mTOR activity. In contrast, chloroquine, an autophagy inhibitor, counteracted hyperbaric oxygen analgesic effect. These findings indicate that hyperbaric oxygen attenuated neuropathic pain by increasing spinal autophagic flux via inhibiting mTOR pathway. Our study provides pre-clinical evidences in expediting hyperbaric oxygen become a safe clinical treatment of neuropathic pain.
