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

The present study was designed to investigate the role of Schwann cell (SC) Piezo1 in peripheral nociception. We first developed an AAV vector that has primary SC tropism after delivery into the sciatic (or tibial) nerve. This was achieved by packing AAV-GFP transcribed by a CBA promoter using a capsid AAVolig001 to generate AAVolig001-CBA-GFP. Six weeks after intraneural injection of AAVolig001-CBA-GFP in naive rats, GFP expression was detected selectively in both myelinating SCs (mSCs) and non-myelinating SCs (nmSCs). A dual promoter and bidirectional AAV encoding a U6-driven short hairpin RNA against rat Piezo1 (PZ1shRNA) and CBA-transcribed GFP was packed with capsid olig001 (AAVolig001-PZ1shRNA), and AAV was injected into unilateral sciatic (or tibial) nerve immediately after induction of common peroneal nerve injury (CPNI). Results showed that the development of mechanical hypersensitivity in the CPNI rats injected with AAVolig001-PZ1shRNA was mitigated compared to rats subjected to AAVolig001-scramble. Selective
