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

Pain is a complex sensory and affective experience. The current definition for pain relies on verbal reports in clinical settings and behavioral assays in animal models. These definitions can be subjective and do not take into consideration signals in the neural system. Local field potentials (LFPs) represent summed electrical currents from multiple neurons in a defined brain area. Although single neuronal spike activity has been shown to modulate the acute pain, it is not yet clear how ensemble activities in the form of LFPs can be used to decode the precise timing and intensity of pain. The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is known to play a role in the affective-aversive component of pain in human and animal studies. Few studies, however, have examined how neural activities in the ACC can be used to interpret or predict acute noxious inputs. Here, we recorded in vivo extracellular activity in the ACC from freely behaving rats after stimulus with non-noxious, low-intensity noxious, and high-intensity noxious stimuli, both in the absence and chronic pain. Using a supervised machine learning classifier with selected LFP features, we predicted the intensity and the onset of acute nociceptive signals with high degree of precision. These results suggest the potential to use LFPs to decode acute pain.
