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

A great need exists for the identification of new effective analgesics to treat sustained pain. However, most preclinical nociceptive assays measure behavioral responses evoked by noxious stimuli (ie, pain-stimulated behavior), which presents a challenge to distinguish between motor impairing and antinociceptive effects of drugs. Here, we demonstrate that chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve elicits common pain-stimulated responses (ie, mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia) as well as reduces marble burying/digging behaviors that occur during the early stages of the neuropathy and resolve within 1 week. Although drugs representing distinct classes of analgesics (ie, morphine, valdecoxib, and gabapentin) reversed both CCI-induced and CCI-depressed nociceptive measures, diazepam lacked antinociceptive effects in all assays and the kappa-opioid receptor agonist U69593 reversed pain-stimulated, but not pain-depressed behaviors. In addition, we tested drugs targeting distinct components of the endocannabinoid system, including agonists at cannabinoid receptors type 1 (CB1) and type 2 (CB2), as well as inhibitors of the endocannabinoid-regulating enzymes fatty acid amide hydrolase and monoacylglycerol lipase. Each of these drugs reversed all CCI-induced nociceptive measures, with the exception of the fatty acid amide hydrolase inhibitor that reversed pain-stimulated behaviors, only. These findings support the use of the mouse marble-burying assay as a model of pain-depressed behavior within the first week of sciatic nerve injury to examine candidate analgesics. These data also support existing preclinical research that cannabinoid receptor agonists and inhibitors of endocannabinoid-regulating enzymes merit consideration for the treatment of pain.
