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

Despite much research efforts being devoted to designing alternative pharmacological interventions, chronic pain remains to be an unresolved clinical problem. Quercetin, a compound that belongs to the flavonoids family, is abundantly found in fruits and vegetables. Emerging evidence indicates that quercetin possesses anti-nociceptive effects in different rodent models of chronic pain, including inflammatory pain, neuropathic pain and cancer pain. In this review, we summarize the mechanisms underlying the analgesic effect of quercetin in preclinical studies. These studies showed that quercetin exerts potent analgesic effects against chronic pain via suppressing neuroinflammation and oxidative stress as well as modulation of synaptic plasticity, GABAergic system, and opioidergic system. Considering that the safety of quercetin is well established, it has great potential for clinical use in pain treatment.
