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

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) suffer from pain, which is associated with inflammation, peripheral and central pain processing, and joint structure damage. The aim of the present study was to investigate a key microRNA (miR) and its target genes that are involved in the pain responses of RA, and to clarify the mechanism of pain regulation. Collagen‑induced arthritis (CIA) was induced in DBA/1 and C57BL/6 mice. The paw swelling, mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT), thermal withdrawal latency (TWL), and expression levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‑α and prostaglandin (PG)E2 in the sera were investigated. Decreased MWT and TWL, and increased TNF‑α and PGE2, in the CIA model group were observed in DBA/1 and C57BL/6 mice. DBA/1 mice exhibited greater hyperalgesia and higher levels of inflammatory mediators. miR‑143‑3p expression in the blood and the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) were detected, and low miR‑143‑3p expression was demonstrated in the blood and DRG tissue of CIA mice. The target genes of miR‑143 were predicted and analyzed. A total of 1,305 genes were predicted and 55 pain‑associated genes were obtained. Prostaglandin‑endoperoxide synthase 2 (Ptgs2), MAS related GPR family member E (Mrgpre), prostaglandin D2 receptor and Tnf were selected as target genes of miR‑143. DRG cells were cultured and transfected with miR‑143‑3p inhibitor or mimic. The expression of Mrgpre, Ptgs2 and Tnf was significantly inhibited following miR‑143‑3p mimic transfection, while the expression of Mrgpre, Ptgs2 and Tnf was increased following inhibitor transfection. Additionally, the expression of pain‑associated genes in the DRG of mice was investigated and the expression of Ptgs2, Mrgpre and Tnf in the DRG of CIA mice was also significantly upregulated. These results revealed that CIA mice exhibited marked hyperalgesia and high levels of inflammatory pain mediators. Low expression of miR‑143‑3p negatively regulated the pain‑associated target genes, including Mrgpre, Ptgs2 and Tnf, thereby affecting chronic inflammatory pain and neuropathic pain in RA.
