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

backgroundSensory neurons relay the pain signals to the brain via the nociceptive system. Notably, reactive oxygen species (ROS) serve as signaling molecules in the somatosensory system; however, their contribution to sensing noxious stimuli remains poorly understood.

methodsHerein, the role of protein kinase G (PKG)1α, which is highly expressed in sensory neurons and serves as a ROS target, was investigated in sensory neurons in the processing of acute nociceptive pain. Cys42Ser PKG1α-knock-in (PKG1α-KI) mice, devoid of redox-dependent PKG1α activation, were subjected to behavioral testing, ROS detection assays, gene expression experiments, and imaging analyses.

resultsInterestingly, PKG1α-KI mice showed reduced behavioral responses to noxious heat and the transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) agonist capsaicin. Moreover, capsaicin-induced sensory neuron stimulation upregulated ROS production and redox-dependent PKG1α activation. Calcium imaging results and patch-clamp recordings revealed that capsaicin-induced calcium flux and neuronal excitability was reduced in sensory neurons of PKG1α-KI mice.

conclusionAltogether, the findings of this study show the effects of redox-dependent PKG1α activation on capsaicin/TRPV1-mediated signaling in sensory neurons during acute nociceptive pain.
