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

The worldwide incidence of neuropathic pain is around 7-8% and is associated with significant and disabling comorbidities (sleep disturbances, depression, anxiety). It is now known that cellular ageing of microglia contributes to neurodegenerative diseases, mood disorders, and, even if with less evidence, chronic pain. The aim of this work was to investigate in vitro and in vivo the senolytic activity of rosmarinic acid (RA) to be exploited for the management of NP symptoms. BV2 cells were stimulated with LPS 500 ng/mL for 24 h. Treatment with RA 1 µM improved cell viability and reduced IL-1ß release leading to an attenuation of neuroinflammation. We then moved on to test the efficacy of RA in reducing microglial senescence. In our model, BV2 cells were stimulated with LPS 500 ng/mL every 72 h for 4 h/day, over a period of 10 days. RA 1 µM reduced the expression of the β-galactosidase enzyme, reduced the release of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors, increased cell viability, and reduced the presence of nuclear foci of senescence (SAHF), well-known cellular senescence markers. In the Spared Nerve Injury (SNI) model, 28 days from surgery, repeated oral administration of RA 5 mg/kg reduced hyperalgesia and NP-associated symptoms, such as anxiety and depression. A reduction of senescence markers was detected on both hippocampal and spinal samples of SNI-treated mice. This study represents a starting point for investigating the role of microglial senescence as a possible pharmacological target in controlling symptoms related to the more advanced stages of peripheral neuropathy.
