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

Detection of cold allodynia is a very important aspect in the study of pain behavior. An effective and concise device for detecting cold pain has always been the hope of many researchers. Here, an easily produced and operated cold plate device is presented for the assessment of cold allodynia in mice. The device used to detect cold allodynia has two components: a chamber consists of a cylinder for animal experiment and a cube box around the chamber for holding ice to keep temperature stable. In the testing chamber, a mouse was placed on the circular plexiglass plate steady at 4 °C above ice for five minutes. The tested mouse will lift its paw when exposed to the cold plate. The number of lifts will present animal's response to the degree of cold stimulation. To evaluate this approach, three commonly used pain models of mice were tested: formalin test, bone cancer pain (BCP), and chronic constriction injury (CCI). As is reported in other literatures, these three pain mice models showed increased sensitivity to cold stimulation. The new device is indeed suitable for detecting cold allodynia behavior in mice. Comparisons with existing devices of detecting cold allodynia, such as the cold plate in the market (UGO, Panlab, Columbus, etc.), the new device has the advantages of low cost, simple operation and easy popularization and can detect cold allodynia behavior of mice very well. This is a very practical and economical device to detect cold allodynia behavior.
