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

backgroundThe mutual exchange of results between basic sciences and clinical research as well as their translation into practice, also with regard to chronic pruritus, is currently to be seen as an ambition or hope rather than established practice.

objectiveIn view of the rapid developments in the field of neurophysiological basics of pruritus, the aim is to clarify how these new concepts can be brought in line with clinical understanding. MATERIALS AND

methodsA review is provided.

resultsAfter the peripheral and spinal processing pathways for pruritus in the mouse were characterized with molecular markers, we are currently working on the translation of this information to the only functionally defined nerve fiber classes in humans. However, it is still unclear whether these processing pathways are crucial for the explanation of chronic pruritus in patients, since inflammation or neuropathy can significantly alter nerve populations and neuronal networks. Therefore, molecular target structures, which have emerged from results of basic research, need to be verified in patients. The gold standard, however, remains the patient with clinical observation and testing. Specific stimulation methods from neurophysiology can help to test hypotheses from basic research directly on patients, while also providing impulses for further development of research concepts.

conclusionsTranslation in medical research is now perceived by many researchers as a hackneyed buzzword. In the field of pruritus research, however, the exchange of results and concepts based on the mutual appreciation of expertise appears attractive, highly relevant, and promising.
