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

Transient receptor potential melastatin M3 (TRPM3) channels have been recognized as a pain transducer in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in recent years. TRPM3 activation initiates neurogenic inflammation and is required for the development of inflammatory hyperalgesia. We aimed to evaluate the role of TRPM3 in pancreas sensory afferents in pancreatic nociception, neurogenic inflammation, and acute pancreatitis (AP)-associated pain. AP was induced by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of L-arginine in rats. TRPM3 expression in pancreatic DRG neurons, spontaneous or mechanical-stimulation-evoked pain behaviors, and the extent of inflammation were evaluated. We found that TRPM3 channels were expressed on pancreatic primary afferent nerve terminals containing calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). Activation of TRPM3 in the pancreas by injection of its specific agonist CIM0216 (10 μM) induced pain, CGRP and substance P release, and neurogenic inflammation, as evidenced by edema, plasma extravasation, and inflammatory cell accumulation in the pancreas. Increased TRPM3 functional expression was detected in pancreatic DRG neurons from AP rats, and blocking TRPM3 activity with its antagonist (Primidone, 5 mg/kg, i.p.) attenuated AP-associated pain behaviors and pancreatic inflammation. Pre-incubation of pancreatic DRG neurons with nerve growth factor (NGF) enhanced the increase in intracellular Ca
