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

aimsLysine-specific demethylase 6B (KDM6B) serves as a key mediator of gene transcription. It regulates expression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines in variety of diseases. Herein, the role and the underlying mechanisms of KDM6B in inflammatory pain were studied.

methodsThe inflammatory pain was conducted by intraplantar injection of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) in rats. Immunofluorescence, Western blotting, qRT-PCR, and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-PCR were performed to investigate the underlying mechanisms.

resultsCFA injection led to upregulation of KDM6B and decrease in the level of H3K27me3 in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and spinal dorsal horn. The mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia following CFA were alleviated by the treatment of intrathecal injection of GSK-J4, and by microinjection of AAV-EGFP-KDM6B shRNA in the sciatic nerve or in lumbar 5 dorsal horn. The increased production of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) following CFA in the DRGs and dorsal horn was inhibited by these treatments. ChIP-PCR showed that CFA-induced increased binding of nuclear factor κB with TNF-α promoter was repressed by the treatment of microinjection of AAV-EGFP-KDM6B shRNA.

conclusionsThese results suggest that upregulated KDM6B via facilitating TNF-α expression in the DRG and spinal dorsal horn aggravates inflammatory pain.
