Emerging evidence of artemin/GFRα3 signaling in musculoskeletal pain.
Review in Osteoarthritis and cartilage, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Chronic musculoskeletal pain is highly prevalent and poses a significant personal, societal, and economic burden. Management of chronic musculoskeletal pain remains a challenge. Long-term use of common analgesic medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and opioids is associated with adverse events, and in the case of opioids, drug addiction. Additionally, many individuals do not experience sufficient pain relief with these therapeutic approaches. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop clinically efficacious and safe therapeutics for musculoskeletal pain. Recent advances in our understanding of musculoskeletal pain neurobiology have helped identify the role of neurotrophic factors, specifically, the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family of ligands (GFL) and their associated signaling pathways. This review outlines our current understanding of the GFL signaling systems, discusses their role in inflammatory and chronic musculoskeletal pain and sensitivity, and comments on the analgesic therapeutic potential of targeting the GFL signaling system.
