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

SUMOylation is a post-translational modification that attaches a small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) group to a target protein via SUMO ligases, while deSUMOylation refers to the removal of this SUMO group by sentrin-specific proteases (SENPs). Although the functions of these processes have been well described in the nucleus, the role of SUMOylation and deSUMOylation in regulating ion channels is emerging as a novel area of study. Despite this, their contributions to pain signaling remain less clear. Therefore, this review consolidates the current evidence on the link(s) between SUMOylation, deSUMOylation, and pain, with a specific focus on ion channels expressed in the sensory system. Additionally, we explore the role of SUMOylation in the expression and function of kinases, vesicle proteins, and transcription factors, which result in the modulation of certain ion channels contributing to pain. Altogether, this review aims to highlight the relationship between SUMOylation and deSUMOylation in the modulation of ion channels, ultimately exploring the potential therapeutic role of these processes in chronic pain.
