LncRNA MEG3-TRPV1 signaling regulates chronic inflammatory pain in rats.
Article in Molecular pain, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common osteoarthropathy with chronic inflammatory pain as the core symptom in middle-aged and elderly people. LncRNA MEG3 (Maternally expressed gene 3) is involved in the development of OA via regulation of angiogenesis, which causes the activation and overexpression of transient receptor potential vanilloid type-1 (TRPV1). In this study, we investigated the mechanism of MEG3-TRPV1 signaling in chronic inflammatory pain (CIP) of rat model. Chronic inflammatory pain was modeled using subcutaneous microinjection of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) into the left hind paw of rats. We showed that TRPV1 mRNA and protein were significantly increased, while MEG3 mRNA was significantly decreased, in the DRG and SDH of CFA-induced rats. In addition, intrathecal injection of MEG3-overexpressing lentivirus significantly downregulated TRPV1 expression and alleviated chronic inflammatory pain in CFA-induced rats. Treatment with a TRPV1 antagonist also significantly relieved chronic inflammatory pain in CFA-induced rats. In general, our results reveal that MEG3 alleviates chronic inflammatory pain by downregulating TRPV1 expression. These findings may provide new therapeutic targets in the treatment of patients with OA.
