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

backgroundTreatment for neuropathic pain as a refractory disease remains unsatisfactory and represents a significant clinical challenge. A highly effective drug is thus urgently needed for neuropathic pain treatment. Dihydromyricetin (DMY) is a flavonoid with a wide range of biological activities. The purpose of this research is to explore the effects of DMY on neuropathic pain and the underlying mechanism of its effect.

methodsThe effect of DMY was investigated in BV-2 cells and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced BV-2 cells. A neuropathic pain model was established via spared nerve injury (SNI) surgery in mice, and the protein expression level was detected via Western blot assay. The percent of M1 and M2 phenotype polarization cells were detected via flow cytometry assay. Immunochemical staining assay was also performed to measure the marker levels of the M1 and M2 phenotype polarization cells and aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) level, and mechanical pain sensitivity was evaluated via measurement of the mechanical withdrawal threshold.

resultsWe found that DMY promoted the transition from M1 to M2 polarization and upregulated the ALDH2 level

conclusionsOur data demonstrated that DMY alleviated neuropathic pain via enhancing the polarization transition from the M1 to M2 phenotype by potentially elevating ALDH2 activity
