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

This paper is dedicated to the memory of János Szolcsányi (1938-2018), an outstanding Hungarian scientist. Among analgesics that act on pain receptors, he identified capsaicin as a selective lead molecule. He studied the application of capsaicin and revealed several physiological (pain, thermoregulation) and pathophysiological (inflammation, gastric ulcer) mechanisms. He discovered a new neuroregulatory system without sensory efferent reflex and investigated its pharmacology. The authors of this review are his former Ph.D. students who carried out their doctoral work in Szolcsányi's laboratory between 1985 and 2010 and report on the scientific results obtained under his guidance. His research group provided evidence for the triple function of the peptidergic capsaicin-sensitive sensory neurons including classical afferent function, local efferent responses, and remote, hormone-like anti-inflammatory, and antinociceptive actions. They also proposed somatostatin receptor type 4 as a promising drug target for the treatment of pain and inflammation. They revealed that neonatal capsaicin treatment caused no acute neuronal death but instead long-lasting selective ultrastructural and functional changes in B-type sensory neurons, similar to adult treatment. They described that lipid raft disruption diminished the agonist-induced channel opening of the TRPV1, TRPA1, and TRPM8 receptors in native sensory neurons. Szolcsányi's group has developed new devices for noxious heat threshold measurement: an increasing temperature hot plate and water bath. This novel approach proved suitable for assessing the thermal antinociceptive effects of analgesics as well as for analyzing peripheral mechanisms of thermonociception.
