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

Neuropathic pain triggered by chemotherapy poses a significant clinical challenge. Investigating cell type-specific alterations through single-cell transcriptome analysis holds promise in understanding symptom development and pathogenesis. In this study, we performed single nuclei RNA (snRNA) sequencing of dorsal root ganglions (DRG) to explore the molecular mechanism underlying paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain. Mouse exposed to repeated paclitaxel doses developed persistent pain hypersensitivity lasting at least 21 days. The snRNA sequencing unveiled seven major cell types within DRGs, with neurons further subdivided into 12 distinct subclusters using known markers. Notably, type C low-threshold mechanoreceptors (C_LTMR) exhibited the most pronounced transcriptomic changes post-paclitaxel administration. Differential gene expression and Gene Ontology (GO) analysis highlighted suppressed potassium-related currents, microtubule transport, and mitochondrial functions in C_LTMR following paclitaxel treatment. Pseudo-time analysis uncovered nine distinct states (state 1 to 9) of C_LTMR. State 1 exhibits higher prevalence in paclitaxel-treated mice and altered neurotransmission properties, likely contributing to paclitaxel-induced pain hypersensitivity. Additionally, Camk1d is involved in temperature hyperalgesia in CIPN, a key clinical symptom observed in human patients with CIPN. This comprehensive exploration sheds light on the molecular mechanisms driving paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain, offering potential avenues for therapeutic intervention.
