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

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) describes an array of painful conditions that are characterized by continuing regional pain. CRPS comprises severe and inappropriate pain in cases of complete recovery after trauma. Research on the pharmacological treatment of CRPS, however, has not been well investigated. In this study, we compared the pain relief effects of different drugs (URB597, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate, and hydralazine) in a rat model of chronic post-ischemic pain-induced CRPS. After drug injection, CRPS-induced mechanical allodynia was significantly recovered. After three repetitive drug injections, mechanical sensitivity generally improved as hyper-nociception subsided. Reduced Nav1.7 expression at dorsal root ganglions (DRGs) was observed in the drug treatment groups. Neural imaging analysis revealed decreased neural activity for each drug treatment, compared to vehicle. In addition, treatments significantly reduced IL-1β, IL-6, and TNFα expression in DRGs. These results indicated that drugs could reduce the expression of inflammatory factors and alleviate the symptoms of chronic post-ischemic pain-induced CRPS.
