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

backgroundNociceptive pain is required for healthy function, yet, neuropathic pain (disease or injury) can be severely debilitating. Though a wide-array of treatment options are available, they are often systemic and/or invasive. As a promising neuromodulation treatment, Focused ultrasound (FUS) is a noninvasive and highly spatially-targeted technique shown to stimulate neural activity, yet, effects on pain signaling are currently unknown.

objectiveDevelop and validate a method for studying FUS nerve stimulation modulation of pain-evoked neural responses in vivo.

methodsWe developed a high-resolution functional ultrasound (fUS) method capable of mapping cortical responses in healthy and neuropathic pain mice in response to FUS neuromodulation treatment.

resultsFUS-evoked hemodynamic responses are correlated with the intensity of peripheral neuromodulation. We confirm functional connectivity is altered in neuropathic mice and demonstrate that FUS can modulate neuropathic pain-evoked hemodynamics.

conclusionsThe findings presented herein provides evidence for an FUS-based nerve pain method and validates the fUS technique developed for monitoring pain-evoked hemodynamics. SIGNIFICANCE: We anticipate that the findings presented herein describe a noninvasive and flexible nerve modulation technique for pain mitigation, furthering evidence for clinical translation.
