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

objectiveTo explore the mechanism of Aitongxiao in improving pain symptoms of rats with cancer pain.

methodsWalker 256 breast cancer cells were injected into the right tibial bone marrow cavity of normal female rats to establish a rat model of tibial cancer pain. The rats with successful model replication were randomly divided into normal group (NG), Hank solution group (HSG), cancer pain model group (CPMG), and Aitongxiao+cancer pain model group (ATX+CPMG). The pain response score, mechanical pain hindpaw withdrawal threshold, and latent heat pain of rats were evaluated, and the changes of serum IL-1β, TNF-α, PGE2 and blood cell counts of rats were detected.

resultsCompared with the NG, the pain response score was increased, the mechanical pain hindpaw withdrawal threshold and latent heat pain were decreased, and IL-1β, TNF-α, and PGE2 were increased in CPMG. Compared with the CPMG, the pain response score was decreased, the mechanical pain hindpaw withdrawal threshold and latent heat pain were increased, and IL-1β, TNF-α, and PGE2 were decreased in ATX+CPMG. There was no significant change in blood cell count in each group.

conclusionAitongxiao can improve the pain symptoms of rats with tibial cancer pain. Its mechanism may be related to the reduction of IL-1β, TNF-α, and PGE2 levels.
