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
backgroundThis study aimed to explore potential biomarkers and mechanisms underlying in the treatment of neuropathic pain (NP) with Fu's subcutaneous needling (FSN), employing a transcriptomics approach.
methodsIn this study, RNA sequencing was performed in a rat model of chronic constriction injury treated with FSN and acupuncture methods. The FSN-related genes in the treatment of NP with FSN were obtained by overlapping the results of differential expression analysis. Potential biomarkers were identified by protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis and machine learning. In addition, potential biomarkers were analyzed for functional enrichment, molecular regulatory networks, and drug prediction. Reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was employed to validate the expression levels of the biomarkers.
resultsFOS, RAC2, and TYROBP were identified as potential biomarkers. Furthermore, mo-miR-92a-2-5p was predicted to co-target RAC2 and TYROBP. Twenty-five drugs were predicted to target FOS and four drugs were predicted to target RAC2 were also identified. FSN treatment enhanced and attenuated the expression of RAC2, TYROBP, and FOS, respectively.
conclusionIn this study, FOS, RAC2, and TYROBP were identified as potential biomarkers in the treatment of NP with FSN, providing a potential theoretical basis for NP treatment.
