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

objectivesSystemic and intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of insulin possess analgesic effects. The raphe magnus nucleus (RMN) is part of the endogenous analgesia system. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of ICV injection of insulin on the levels of monoamines and their related metabolites in the RMN during the formalin test in non-diabetic and short-term diabetic rats. MATERIALS AND

methodsSixty four adult male rats were used. Diabetes was induced by Streptozotocin (STZ) (60 mg/kg, IP); insulin (5 mU/animal, 5 μl) was injected into the left ventricle. Microdialysis was performed in each rat. Samples were collected at 15 min intervals. After taking the base sample of microdialysis, 50 μl of 2.5% formalin was injected into the plantar surface of the hind paw, and the level of nociception was recorded every 15 sec for 1 hr. Monoamines and their metabolites concentrations were measured using the HPLC-ECD method.

resultsFindings showed that ICV injection of insulin in non-diabetic rats increased the concentration of monoamines and their related metabolites in the RMN. In diabetic rats, injection of insulin decreased the concentrations of monoamines and their related metabolites in the RMN (

conclusionBased on the results, it seems that ICV injection of insulin in non-diabetic rats increased the activity of the central pain control pathways leading to antinociceptive response, but this condition was not seen in diabetic rats.
