Ninjin'yoeito Alleviates Neuropathic Pain Induced by Chronic Constriction Injury in Rats.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Kampo medicines are frequently used empirically to treat pain in clinical practice. Ninjin'yoeito (NYT), which is associated with few adverse effects, is often used to treat the elderly, but has not yet been examined in detail. We herein investigated the effects of NYT, at 500 and 1,000 mg/kg p.o. (NYT500/NYT1000 group) in single and repeated administrations for 14 days, on pain in rats with peripheral neuropathy induced by loose ligation of the sciatic nerve (chronic constriction injury: CCI). Untreated CCI rats given distilled water were used as a control group. To assess induced pain, the pain threshold was measured using the von Frey test. To evaluate spontaneous pain, the ground-contact area of the paw with neuropathic pain was measured using the Dynamic Weight Bearing test. Serum samples were collected after the test to elucidate the mechanism of action of NYT, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and corticosterone protein levels, which have been reported to change due to chronic pain, were analyzed. After single administration of NYT, the pain threshold rose in the NYT500 and NYT1000 groups. The pain threshold tended to rise on day 14 of repeated administration in the NYT500 group (
