Analgesic effects of nerve growth factor-directed monoclonal antibody on diabetic neuralgia in an animal model.
Article in FEBS open bio, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Current treatment options for diabetic neuralgia are limited and unsatisfactory. Tanezumab, a monoclonal antibody that blocks nerve growth factor (NGF) signaling, has been shown to be effective in relieving the clinical symptoms of osteoarthritis pain, chronic low back pain, cancer pain induced by bone metastasis, and diabetic neuralgia. However, the clinical development of tanezumab has been terminated due to the risk of induction of rapidly progressive osteoarthritis (RPOA), and no other NGF antibodies have been examined for their ability to treat diabetic neuralgia in either animal models or clinical trials. In this study, a humanized high-affinity NGF monoclonal antibody (mAb), huAb45 that could neutralize the interaction between NGF and its high-affinity receptor TrkA. In a mouse diabetic neuralgia model, it effectively relieved neuropathic pain. This study may serve as the necessary foundation for future studies of huAb45 to potentially treat diabetic neuralgia.
