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
objectivesThe activation of astrocytes is an important process in the formation of chronic pain. This study aims to observe the activation of A1 reactive astrocytes in the medullary dorsal horn in the rat model of trigeminal neuralgia, and to explore the mechanism of central sensitization caused by A1 reactive astrocyte.
methodsThe adult male rats were randomly divided into a sham group and a chronic constriction injury of infraorbital nerve (ION-CCI) group. The facial mechanical pain threshold and thermal withdrawal latency were measured before the operation and on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 10th, and 14th day after the operation. After pain behavior observation, the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in the medullary dorsal horn was observed by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence colocalization of GFAP, complement 3 (C3)/S100A10, and 4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) was analyzed. Primary astrocytes were cultured and randomly divided into a naive group and a DHK group. The DHK group was treated with 1 mmol/L of astrocyte activation inhibitor dihydrokainic acid (DHK). Fura-2/AM was used to stain the astrocytes and the calcium wave of the 2 groups under the stimulation of high potassium was recorded and compared. The expression of C3 was detected by Western blotting.
resultsThe facial mechanical pain threshold and thermal withdrawal latency of the ION-CCI group were significantly lower than those of the sham group (both
conclusionsA1 reactive astrocytes in the medullary dorsal horn of trigeminal neuralgia model rats are increased significantly, which may participate in central sensitization of trigeminal neuralgia by impacting astrocyte calcium wave.
