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

Background: Neuropathic pain involves complex neuroimmune interactions across the somatosensory nervous system, yet a comprehensive multi-tissue cellular landscape remains lacking. Methods: We integrated single-cell RNA sequencing data from the sciatic nerve (SN), dorsal root ganglion (DRG), and spinal cord (SC) of spared nerve injury (SNI) mice. The therapeutic potential of the selective CCR2 antagonist RS504393 was evaluated in vivo. Results: Macrophages dominated the injured SN (40.5%), exhibiting an inferred transcriptional shift from a resident-like Mrc1 Conclusion: This study provides an integrated multi-tissue single-cell analysis of neuropathic pain and highlights the CCL2-CCR2 signaling pathway as a potential non-opioid therapeutic target at the peripheral neuroimmune interface, with pharmacological evidence suggesting downstream central effects.
