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

Neuropathic pain is a complicated clinical syndrome caused by heterogeneous etiology. Despite the fact that the underlying mechanisms remain elusive, it is well accepted that neuroinflammation plays a critical role in the development of neuropathic pain. Fascin-1, an actin-bundling protein, has been proved to be involved in the processing of diverse biological events including cellular development, immunity, and tumor invasion etc. Recent studies have shown that Fascin-1 participates in antigen presentation and the regulation of pro-inflammatory agents. However, whether Fascin-1 is involved in neuropathic pain has not been reported. In the present study we examined the potential role of Fascin-1 by using a rodent model of chronic constriction injury (CCI). Our results showed that Fascin-1 increased rapidly in dorsal root ganglions (DRG) and spinal cord (SC) after CCI. The increased Fascin-1 widely expressed in DRG, however, it localized predominantly in microglia, seldom in neuron, and hardly in astrocyte in the SC. Intrathecal injection of Fascin-1 siRNA not only suppressed the activation of microglia and the release of pro-inflammatory mediators, but also attenuated the mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia induced by CCI.
