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

Dynorphin A (1-17) (DynA17) has been identified as a key regulator of both sensory and affective dimensions of chronic pain. Following nerve injury, increases in DynA17 have been reported in the spinal and supraspinal areas involved in chronic pain. Blocking these increases provides therapeutic benefits in preclinical chronic pain models. Although heavily characterized at the behavioral level, how DynA17 mediates its effects at the cellular physiological level has not been investigated. In this report, we begin to decipher how DynA17 mediates its direct effects on mouse dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells and how intrathecal administration modifies a key node in the pain axis, the periaqueductal gray These findings build on the plethora of literature defining DynA17 as a critical neuropeptide in the pathophysiology of chronic pain syndromes.
