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

Chronic pain, such as persistent inflammatory pain, remains a public health problem that has no effective treatment at present. Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) inhibition, induced by JQ1 injection or BRD4 knockdown, has been used to attenuate inflammatory pain; However, it remains elusive whether BRD4 aggravates inflammatory pain by regulating inflammasome. Western blot and immunofluorescence staining showed that BRD4 expression increased after administration of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) and reached its peak on day 3. Immunofluorescence staining showed that BRD4 was mainly colocalized with NeuN-positive neurons in the spinal cord, which was accompanied by upregulation of inflammasome component proteins, such as NLRP3, gasdermin D, and caspase-1. JQ1 was intrathecally injected into mice 1 h before CFA administration, and the mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia levels were measured on days 1, 3, and 7 after CFA administration. CFA-induced inflammatory pain, paw inflammation, and swelling were attenuated by pre-treatment with JQ1. To our knowledge, this study was the first to prove that NLRP3 inflammasome-induced neuronal pyroptosis participates in inflammatory pain. BRD4 inhibition decreased the expression of pyroptosis-related proteins by inhibiting the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway, both
