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

The micro (mi)RNAs expressed in the sciatic nerve of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats were evaluated in terms of their therapeutic potential in patients with diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP). Relative miRNA expression in sciatic nerve with DNP was analyzed using next-generation sequencing and quantitative PCR. Potential downstream targets of miRNAs were predicted using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis and the TargetScan database. In vitro experiments were performed using miR-133a-3p-transfected RSC96 Schwann cells. We performed micro-Western and Western blotting and immunofluorescence analyses to verify the role of miR-133a-3p. In vivo, the association between miR-133a-3p with DNP was analyzed via AAV-miR-133a-3p intraneural (intra-epineural but extrafascicular) injection into the sciatic nerve of normal rats or injection of an miR-133a-3p antagomir into the sciatic nerve of diabetes mellitus (DM) rats. miR-133a-3p mimics transfected into RSC96 Schwann cells increased VEGFR-2, p38α MAPK, TRAF-6, and PIAS3 expression and reduced NFκB p50 and MKP3 expression. In normal rats, AAV-miR-133a-3p delivery via intraneural injection into the sciatic nerve induced mechanical allodynia and p-p38 MAPK activation. In DM rats, miR-133a-3p antagomir administration alleviated DNP and downregulated p-p38 phosphorylation. Overexpression of miR-133a-3p in the sciatic nerve induced such pain. We suggest that miR-133a-3p is a potential therapeutic target for DNP.
