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

Nav1.8 sodium channels (Nav1.8) are an attractive therapeutic target for pain because they are prominent in primary pain-sensing neurons with little expression in most other kinds of neurons. Recently, two Nav1.8-targeted compounds, VX-150 and VX-548, have shown efficacy in clinical trials for reducing pain. We examined the characteristics of Nav1.8 inhibition by these compounds. The active metabolite form of VX-150 (VX-150m) inhibited human Nav1.8 channels with an IC
