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

Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels play key roles for the transition from acute to chronic postoperative pain after surgery. To evaluate TRP channels in the peripheral blood cells as blood biomarkers for chronic pain, we collected blood samples for genome-wide assays of the mRNA expression and assessed pain intensity and the number of pain symptoms in 13 patients with chronic pain. There was a significant association between increases in the number of pain symptoms and increases in the TRP vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) expression. Decreases in the TRP ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) expression, however, tended to increase the number of pain symptoms. There was likely an inverse relationship for TRPV1 and TRPA1 expressions with regard to the number of pain symptoms in chronic pain patients.
