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

1. Intrathecal (i.t.) injections of the (tachykinin) NK1 receptor agonist, substance P methyl ester (SPME; 20 pmol), or the NK2 receptor agonist, neurokinin A (NKA; 20 pmol), substantially decreased the cutaneous mechanical threshold and markedly enhanced the touch-evoked response of posterior biceps femoris-semitendinosus (PBF-ST) spinal flexor motoneurones in decerebrate-spinal rats. This cutaneous mechanical reflex allodynia was prevented by pretreatment with the NK1 antagonist RP 67580 (2.28 nmol, i.t.) and the NK2 antagonist MEN 10376 (0.7 nmol, i.t.), respectively. 2. Electrical stimulation of the sural nerve at C fibre strength or cutaneous application of the irritant, mustard oil, produced prolonged cutaneous mechanical allodynia in PBF-ST motoneurones (15 min and > 1 h, respectively). Pretreatment with RP 67580 but not MEN 10376 prevented this, but when RP 67580 was administered 25 min after the application of mustard oil, the established hypersensitivity of the flexor motor reflex was not reversed. The enantiomer of RP 67580, RP 68651 was without effect. 3. Injection of bradykinin (60 microM, 80 microliters) into the gastrocnemius muscle increased the cutaneous mechanical hypersensitivity of PBF-ST flexor motoneurones for 40-50 min. MEN 10376, but not RP 67580, prevented this, but only when administered prior to the bradykinin injection. 4. These results suggest that the induction, but not the maintenance, of cutaneous mechanical allodynia in flexor motoneurones is NK receptor dependent, with cutaneous C fibre conditioning inputs acting via NK1 and muscle C fibre conditioning inputs via NK2 receptor subtypes.
