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

Various preclinical rodent models have been established and utilized to elucidate the mechanisms underlying neuropathic pain. However, the utility of existing major models faces challenges, such as reproducibility and surgical complexity. Here, we introduce a new rat model of neuropathic pain created by simply clamping the sciatic nerve for 10 min. First, we investigated pain-related behavior in 12 male Wistar rats after surgery to clamp the sciatic nerve that induced mechanical allodynia for 21 days and thermal hyperalgesia for 7 days (2-way ANOVA compared with sham-operated rats, p < 0.01). We observed only small interindividual differences in response to stimuli among the rats after sciatic nerve clamp surgery. The L5 dorsal root ganglion and spinal dorsal horn of the other 14 rats were subsequently sectioned and stained for Atf3 and Iba-1 immunoreactivity, respectively. Compared with sham surgery, nerve clamping induced peripheral and central sensitization (Mann-Whitney U test, p < 0.01). This new preclinical rat model of neuropathic pain offers procedural simplicity and high reproducibility.
