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.
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
Patients admitted for surgery commonly experience preoperative anxiety. Previous studies have shown that preoperative anxiety often delays recovery from postoperative pain or even aggravates pain. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the mechanisms by which anxiety prolongs chronic postoperative pain. A single prolonged stress (SPS) rat model was constructed to investigate the effects of anxiety and depression using behavioral tests. Changes in the levels of tight junction proteins in the cerebral striatum (CPu) of the rats were assessed by western blotting 1 to 21 days after the operation. The level of inflammation was detected using western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Glucose metabolism levels and changes in related signaling pathways in microglia were assessed using western blotting, immunofluorescence, ELISA, and flow cytometry. The effects of S-ketamine treatment on the rats were also determined using the above methods. Preoperative SPS aggravated acute pain after plantar incision in rats and significantly prolonged the postoperative pain recovery time. The incised SPS rats began to show significant blood-brain-barrier (BBB) damage on the third day after surgery. Simultaneously, SPS caused neuroinflammation and microglial activation in the CPu after plantar incision. CPu microglia participated in neuroinflammation by undergoing glucose metabolic reprogramming mediated by the mTOR-p70S6K-4EBP1 pathway. Preoperative administration of a single dose of S-ketamine was an effective analgesic, as it inhibited SPS-induced postoperative inflammation. S-ketamine partially corrected SPS-induced abnormal glycolysis in striatal microglia through the mTOR-p70S6K-4EBP1 pathway. S-ketamine effectively relieved postoperative chronic pain caused by preoperative anxiety by correcting glucose metabolic reprogramming in CPu microglia.
