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

background and purposeThe transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channel TRPM3 functions as a noxious heat sensor, plays a key role in acute pain sensation and inflammatory hyperalgesia in rodents. Despite its potential as a novel analgesic drug target, little is known about the expression, function and modulation in the humans. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: We studied TRPM3 in freshly isolated human dorsal root ganglion (hDRG) neurons and human stem cell-derived sensory (hSCDS) neurons. Expression was analysed at the mRNA level using RT-qPCR. Channel function was assessed using Fura-2-based calcium imaging and whole-cell patch-clamp recordings. KEY

resultsTRPM3 was detected at the mRNA level in both hDRG and hSCDS neurons. The TRPM3 agonists pregnenolone sulphate (PS) and CIM0216 evoked robust intracellular Ca CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS: These results provide the first direct evidence of functional expression of the pain receptor TRPM3 in human sensory neurons, largely mirroring the channel's properties observed in mouse sensory neurons. hSCDS neurons represent a valuable and readily accessible in vitro model to study TRPM3 regulation and pharmacology in a relevant human cellular context.
