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

Thalamic pain, a type of central poststroke pain, frequently occurs following ischemia/hemorrhage in the thalamus. Current treatment of this disorder is often ineffective, at least in part due to largely unknown mechanisms that underlie thalamic pain genesis. Here, we report that hemorrhage caused by microinjection of type IV collagenase or autologous whole blood into unilateral ventral posterior lateral nucleus and ventral posterior medial nucleus of the thalamus increased the expression of Fgr, a member of the Src family nonreceptor tyrosine kinases, at both mRNA and protein levels in thalamic microglia. Pharmacological inhibition or genetic knockdown of thalamic Fgr attenuated the hemorrhage-induced thalamic injury on the ipsilateral side and the development and maintenance of mechanical, heat, and cold pain hypersensitivities on the contralateral side. Mechanistically, the increased Fgr participated in hemorrhage-induced microglial activation and subsequent production of TNF-α likely through activation of both NF-κB and ERK1/2 pathways in thalamic microglia. Our findings suggest that Fgr is a key player in thalamic pain and a potential target for the therapeutic management of this disorder.
