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

backgroundThe study was designed to explore the correlation of the asymmetric regulation between periaqueductal gray (PAG) and bilateral trigeminal nucleus caudalis (TNC) in migraine rats through studying the changes of metabolites in pain regulatory pathway of acute migraine attack.

methodsThirty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into three groups: blank, control, model groups. Then, blank group was intraperitoneally injected with ultrapure water, while control group injected with saline and model group injected with Glyceryl Trinitrate (GTN). Two hours later, PAG and bilateral TNC were removed respectively, and metabolite concentrations of PAG, Left-TNC, Right-TNC were obtained. Lastly, the differences of metabolite among three brain tissues were compared.

resultsThe relative concentrations of rNAA, rGlu, rGln, rTau, rMI in PAG or bilateral TNC had interaction effects between groups and sites. The concentration of rLac of three brain tissues increased in migraine rats, however, the rLac of LTNC and RTNC increased more than that of PAG. Besides, the concentrations of rNAA and rGln increased in RTNC, while rGABA decreased in RTNC.

conclusionsThere is correlation between PAG, LTNC and RTNC in regulation of pain during acute migraine attack, and the regulation of LTNC and RTNC on pain is asymmetric.
