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

Fifth lumbar (L5) nerve injury in rodent produces neuropathic manifestations in the corresponding hind paw. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of cutaneous injection of resiniferatoxin (RTX), a TRPV1 receptor agonist, in the rat's hind paw on the neuropathic pain induced by L5 nerve injury. The results showed that intraplantar injection of RTX (0.002%, 100 µL) (1) completely reversed the development of chronic thermal and mechanical hypersensitivity; (2) completely prevented the development of nerve-injury-induced thermal and mechanical hypersensitivity when applied one week earlier; (3) caused downregulation of nociceptive pain markers, including TRPV1, IB4 and CGRP, and upregulation of VIP in the ipsilateral dorsal horn of spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) immunohistochemically and a significant reduction in the expression of TRPV1 mRNA and protein in the ipsilateral DRG using Western blot and qRT-PCR techniques; (4) caused downregulation of PGP 9.5- and CGRP-immunoreactivity in the injected skin; (5) produced significant suppression of c-fos expression, as a neuronal activity marker, in the spinal neurons in response to a second intraplantar RTX injection two weeks later. This work identifies the ability of cutaneous injection of RTX to completely alleviate and prevent the development of different types of neuropathic pain in animals and humans.
