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

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the main causes leading to neuropathic pain. Here, we aim to explore the molecular mechanism and function of lncRNA PVT1 in neuropathic pain induced by SCI. The expression of lncRNA PVT1, microRNA (miR) - 186-5p was measured via quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR), and the activation of astrocytes (labeled by GFAP) was detected by immunohistochemistry. Western blot was conducted to detect the expression of chemokine ligand 13 (CXCL13), chemokine receptor 5 (CXCR5), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in spinal cord injury lesions. The levels of inflammatory cytokines (including IL-1β and IL-6) and MDA in tissues were examined via Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In vitro experiments were also conducted in primary cultured astrocyte to explore the response of astrocyte to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). What's more, the PVT1-miR-186-5p interaction was verified via the dual luciferase activity assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. The results demonstrated that the levels of PVT1, CXCL13 and CXCR5 were upregulated, while miR-186-5p were decreased in SCI rats' spinal cord and LPS-mediated astrocytes. In the SCI model, PVT1 depletion significantly alleviated neuropathic pain, astrocytic activation and reduced the expression of neuroinflammatory factors and proteins. The relevant mechanism studies confirmed that PVT1 is a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) of miR-186-5p, targets and inhibits its expression and promotes the expression of CXCL13/CXCR5, while miR-186-5p targets CXCL13. In conclusion, inhibition of lncRNA PVT1 alleviates neuropathic pain in SCI rats by upregulating miR-186-5p and down-regulating CXCL13/CXCR5. The PVT1/miR-186-5p/CXCL13/CXCR5 axis can be used as a new therapeutic target for neuropathic pain.
