Activation of the BMP2-SMAD1-CGRP pathway in dorsal root ganglia contributes to bone cancer pain in a rat model.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Peripheral nerve remodeling and sensitization are involved in cancer-related bone pain. As a member of the transforming growth factor-β class, bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) is recognized to have a role in the development of the neurological and skeletal systems. Our previous work showed that BMP2 is critical for bone cancer pain (BCP) sensitization. However, the mechanism remains unknown. In the current study, we demonstrated a substantial increase in BMP2 expression in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) in a rat model of BCP. Knockdown of BMP2 expression ameliorated BCP in rats. Furthermore, the DRG neurons of rats with BCP expressed higher levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and BCP was successfully suppressed by intrathecal injection of a CGRP receptor blocker (CGRP
