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

Cytokines are proteins secreted by diverse types of immune and non-immune cells and play a role in the communication between the immune and nervous systems. Cytokines include lymphokines, monokines, chemokines, interleukins, interferons, colony stimulating factors, and growth factors. They can be both pro- and anti-inflammatory and have autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine activities. These proteins are involved in initiation and persistence of pain, and the progress of hyperalgesia and allodynia, upon stimulating nociceptive sensory neurons, and inducing central sensitization. The objective of this review is to discuss several types of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators and their relation with inflammatory pain in masticatory muscles.
