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

Rutin (vitamin P or rutoside) is a citrus flavonoid glycoside that has shown beneficial health effects in different organs against various conditions including inflammation and pain. The majority of rutin therapeutic benefits are ascribed to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This review article discusses studies that investigated pain-relieving activity of rutin and summarizes the reported mechanisms of action. Rutin pain-relieving effect has been studied in streptozotocin-induced diabetes, chronic constriction injury, and oxaliplatin-, formalin-, acetic acid- and glutamate-induced nociception in mice or rats. Based on the literature, rutin analgesic effects are induced through potentiation of antioxidant arsenal, reduction of inflammatory cytokines (e.g., Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β) levels, suppression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expressions and modulation of MAPK, NF-κB and Nrf-2/HO-1 signaling. Preclinical findings on rutin pain-relieving activity are promising, however, its safety profile needs to be more thoroughly investigated and clinical trials should be conducted to assess its analgesic effects in humans.
