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

In a recent article published in Neuron, Li et al. (Neuron 112(22):3734-3749.e5, 2024) accomplished a major scientific advance by reporting that ATP-sensitive P2X3 receptor-channels (P2X3Rs) in the paraventricular hypothalamus (PVH) specifically regulate visceral pain without affecting somatic pain. On the other hand, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-sensing receptors (VIPR2) selectively process somatic pain without altering visceral pain. Function-dependent laser capture microdissection sequencing (fLCM-Seq) and immunohistochemistry demonstrated that P2X3Rs and VIPR2 have different transcriptional profiles and belong to the colorectal distension (CRD) and von Frey filament (VFF)-stimulated subgroups of PVH neurons, respectively. An anterograde tracing strategy, in which green fluorescent protein (GFP) was selectively expressed in CRD-labeled or VFF-labeled PVH neurons, showed that PVH
