The Delayed-Onset Mechanical Pain Behavior Induced by Infant Peripheral Nerve Injury Is Accompanied by Sympathetic Sprouting in the Dorsal Root Ganglion.

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.
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
backgroundSympathetic sprouting in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) following nerve injuries had been proved to induce adult neuropathic pain. However, it is unclear whether the abnormal sprouting occurs in infant nerve injury.
methodsL5 spinal nerve ligation (SNL) or sham surgery was performed on adult rats and 10-day-old pups, and mechanical thresholds and heat hyperalgesia were analyzed on 3, 7, 14, 28, and 56 postoperative days. Tyrosine hydroxylase-labeled sympathetic fibers were observed at each time point, and 2 neurotrophin receptors (p75NTR and TrkA) were identified to explore the mechanisms of sympathetic sprouting.
resultsAdult rats rapidly developed mechanical and heat hyperalgesia from postoperative day 3, with concurrent sympathetic sprouting in DRG. In contrast, the pup rats did not show a significantly lower mechanical threshold until postoperative day 28, at which time the sympathetic sprouting became evident in the DRG. No heat hyperalgesia was presented in pup rats at any time point. There was a late expression of glial p75NTR in DRG of pups from postoperative day 28, which was parallel to the occurrence of sympathetic sprouting. The expression of TrkA did not show such a postoperative syncing change.
conclusionThe delayed-onset mechanical allodynia in the infant nerve lesion was accompanied with parallel sympathetic sprouting in DRG. The late parallel expression of glial p75NTR injury may play an essential role in this process, which provides novel insight into the treatment of delayed adolescent neuropathic pain.
