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

Despite considerable advancements in therapeutic approaches, neuropathic pain remains a globally prevalent and challenging source of chronic suffering, underscoring the urgent demand for innovative treatment strategies. Here, we investigated the role of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in neuropathic pain using a rodent model of chronic constriction injury (CCI) to the sciatic nerve, approved by the Ethical Committee of Animal Use and Care. Mechanical thresholds (von Frey hairs) and thermal latencies (hot plate) were measured, alongside spinal MIF expression, pyroptosis markers (e.g., GSDMD-N), and inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α). Our results showed that spinal MIF levels surged post-CCI, peaking on day 14 (
