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

Background: Epidemiological studies have frequently shown the concurrence of chronic pain with symptoms of anxiety and depression, particularly in women. Animal models are useful to understand the complex mechanisms underlying comorbidities, but the wide range of methods employed and the wealth of evidence sometimes impedes effective translation and reproducibility. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to synthesize the evidence regarding the influence of variables such as sex and species on anxiety- and depressive-like behaviors in rodent models of neuropathic pain. Methods: Following PROSPERO registration, we searched EMBASE, Scopus, and the Web of Science from their inception to November 24, 2023, identifying 126 studies that met the inclusion criteria. The Hedges' Results: Neuropathic pain significantly reduced the time that rats and mice spent in the open arms of the elevated plus and zero mazes ( Conclusions: This meta-analysis emphasizes the effect of neuropathic pain on anxiety- and depressive-like behaviors in rodents, highlighting the importance of investigating sex differences in future experimental studies.
