Intravenous Administration of Pyroglutamyl Apelin-13 Alleviates Murine Inflammatory Pain via the Kappa Opioid Receptor.
Article in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Apelin is an endogenous neuropeptide, which has wide distribution in central nervous system and peripheral tissues. Pyroglutamyl apelin-13 [(pyr)apelin-13] is the major apelin isoform in human plasma. However, the role of peripheral (pyr)apelin-13 in pain regulation is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the peripheral injection of (pyr)apelin-13 on inflammatory pain using the formalin test as well as to evaluate the mechanistic basis for the effect. Results showed intravenous (i.v.) injection of (pyr)apelin-13 (10, 20 mg/kg) to significantly decrease licking/biting time during the second phase of the mouse formalin test. In contrast, i.v. injection of apelin-13 had no influence on such effect. Intramuscular injection of (pyr)apelin-13 reduced licking/biting time during the second phase only at a dose of 20 mg/kg. The antinociception of i.v. (pyr)apelin-13 was antagonized by the apelin receptor (APJ, angiotensin II receptor-like 1) antagonist, apelin-13(F13A). (pyr)apelin-13 (i.v. 20 mg/kg) markedly upregulated
