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 dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons are crucial in transmitting sensory information from the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system, including touch, pain, temperature, and proprioception. Understanding the functions and mechanisms of DRG neurons is essential for studying sensory processing and developing efficient treatments for sensory disorders. In addition, electrophysiological patch-clamp recording is a powerful and classical tool to study the functions and mechanisms of the nervous system. Building upon the strategies outlined in published works and our group's abundant research experience in DRG neurons' functions by patch-clamp, we have summarized and put forward a comprehensive step-by-step protocol combining juvenile rat DRG neuron isolation and culture, and patch-clamp recording. This protocol would be a powerful guidance document for neuroscience researchers to study sensory DRG neurons' physiological and pathological functions using electrophysiological tools.
