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

backgroundCapsaicin (CPS) is a highly selective agonist of the transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) with a nanomolar affinity. High doses or prolonged exposure to CPS induces TRPV1 defunctionalization and, although this effect is currently used for the treatment of thermal hyperalgesia in chronic pain conditions, it is responsible of detrimental effects, such as denervation of sensory fibers. The aim of the present study was to formulate CPS loaded lipid nanocarriers (CPS-LN) in order to optimize CPS release, thus preventing TRPV1 internalization and degradation.

methodsCPS-LNs were formulated and characterized by in vitro studies. The activation of TRPV1 receptors after CPS-LN administration was evaluated by measuring spontaneous pain that was induced by local injection into the plantar surface of the mouse hind-paw. Moreover, the expression of TRPV1 in the skin was evaluated by western blot analysis in CPS-LN injected mice and then compared to a standard CPS solution (CPS-STD).

resultsCPS inclusion in LN induced a lower pain response when compared to CPS-STD; further, it prevented TRPV1 down-regulation in the skin, while CPS-STD induced a significant reduction of TRPV1 expression.

conclusionsDrug encapsulation in lipid nanoparticles produced an optimization of CPS release, thus reducing mice pain behavior and avoiding the effects that are caused by TRPV1 defunctionalization related to a prolonged activation of this receptor.
