Electroacupuncture Relieves Neuropathic Pain via Adenosine 3 Receptor Activation in the Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn of Mice.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Neuropathic pain (NPP) is a devastating and unbearable painful condition. As prevailing treatment strategies have failed to mitigate its complications, there remains a demand for effective therapies. Electroacupuncture (EA) has proved a potent remedial strategy in NPP management in humans and mammals. However, past studies have investigated the underlying mechanism of the analgesic effects of EA on NPP, focusing primarily on adenosine receptors in peripheral tissues. Herein, we elucidate the role of the adenosine (Adora-3) signaling pathway in mediating pain relief through EA in the central nervous system, which is obscure in the literature and needs exploration. Specific pathogen-free (SPF) male adult mice (C57BL/6 J) were utilized to investigate the effect of EA on adenosine metabolism (CD73, ADA) and its receptor activation (Adora-3), as potential mechanisms to mitigate NPP in the central nervous system. NPP was induced via spared nerve injury (SNI). EA treatment was administered seven times post-SNI surgery, and lumber (L4-L6) spinal cord was collected to determine the molecular expression of mRNA and protein levels. In the spinal cord of mice, following EA application, the expression results revealed that EA upregulated (
