Pregnenolone sulfate potentiates tetrodotoxin-resistant Na
Article in The journal of headache and pain, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundAlthough peripheral administration of pregnenolone sulfate (PS) has been reported to produce pronociceptive effects, the mechanisms by which PS modulates the excitability of nociceptive neurons are poorly understood. Here, we report on the excitatory role of PS in peripheral nociceptive neurons, focusing on its effects on tetrodotoxin-resistant (TTX-R) Na
methodsTTX-R Na
resultsTranscripts for enzymes and transporters involved in PS biosynthesis were detected in the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal ganglia. In voltage-clamp mode, PS preferentially potentiated the TTX-R persistent I
conclusionWe have shown that the excitatory neurosteroid PS preferentially potentiates TTX-R persistent I
