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

Excitatory interneurons account for the majority of dorsal horn neurons, and are required for perception of normal and pathological pain. We have identified largely non-overlapping populations in laminae I-III, based on expression of substance P, gastrin-releasing peptide, neurokinin B, and neurotensin. Cholecystokinin (CCK) is expressed by many dorsal horn neurons, particularly in the deeper laminae. Here, we have used immunocytochemistry and in situ hybridization to characterize the CCK cells. We show that they account for ~7% of excitatory neurons in laminae I-II, but between a third and a quarter of those in lamina III. They are largely separate from the neurokinin B, neurotensin, and gastrin-releasing peptide populations, but show limited overlap with the substance P cells. Laminae II-III neurons with protein kinase Cγ (PKCγ) have been implicated in mechanical allodynia following nerve injury, and we found that around 50% of CCK cells were PKCγ-immunoreactive. Neurotensin is also expressed by PKCγ cells, and among neurons with moderate to high levels of PKCγ, ~85% expressed CCK or neurotensin. A recent transcriptomic study identified mRNA for thyrotropin-releasing hormone in a specific subpopulation of CCK neurons, and we show that these account for half of the CCK/PKCγ cells. These findings indicate that the CCK cells are distinct from other excitatory interneuron populations that we have defined. They also show that PKCγ cells can be assigned to different classes based on neuropeptide expression, and it will be important to determine the differential contribution of these classes to neuropathic allodynia.
