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

Treating neuropathic pain is a critical clinical issue. Although numerous therapies have been proposed, effective treatments have not been established. Therefore, safe and feasible treatment methods are urgently needed. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic effects of autologous intrathecal administration of bone-marrow-derived mononuclear cells (MNCs) on neuropathic pain. We generated a mouse model of neuropathic pain by transecting the spinal nerve and evaluated neuropathic pain by measuring the mechanical threshold in the following 14 days. Mice in the MNC injection group had a higher mechanical threshold than those in the buffer group. We assessed the effect of MNC treatment on the dorsal root ganglia and spinal cord by immunohistochemistry, mRNA expression, and cytokine assay. The migration and accumulation of microglia were significantly suppressed in the MNC group, and the mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) was markedly downregulated. Furthermore, MNC administration tended to suppress various cytokines in the cerebrospinal fluid of the model mice. In conclusion, our results suggest that intrathecal injection of MNCs relieves neuropathic pain and might be a promising cell therapy for the treatment of this condition.
