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
Nociceptive hypersensitivity and synovial inflammation promote the progression of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and joint pain, yet effective therapeutic strategies remain limited. This study investigated the mechanism of osteopathic pressing manipulation (OPM), a traditional Chinese spinal orthopedic technique, in alleviating KOA pain and inflammation. Using a rat KOA model, we demonstrated that moderate-intensity OPM (MOPM) significantly improved mechanical withdrawal threshold and reduced synovial inflammation markers IL-6, TNF-α and nociceptors TRPV1, TRPA1. RNA sequencing of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) tissues revealed that MOPM reversed KOA-induced upregulation of complexin 2 (CPLX2), a key modulator of SNARE complex-mediated cellular membrane trafficking. Mechanistically, MOPM suppressed CPLX2-dependent vesicle transport, thereby reducing membrane localization of TRP channels and secretion of pain mediators NGF, CGRP. In vitro co-culture experiments using DRG neurons and fibroblast-like synoviocytes confirmed that mechanical stress mimicking OPM attenuated trafficking dynamics-related protein expression VAMP2, SNAP25, and syntaxin1 via CPLX2 downregulation. Critically, CPLX2 siRNA synergized with MOPM to enhance anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects. These findings identify OPM as a non-pharmacological intervention capable of modulating CPLX2-mediated neuronal trafficking dynamics of TRPV1 and TRPA1, thereby alleviating pain and inflammation associated with KOA.
