PDCD4 inhibition alleviates neuropathic pain by regulating spinal autophagy and neuroinflammation.

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.
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
Neuropathic pain is still a clinical challenge. Inflammatory responses and autophagy in the spinal cord are important mechanisms for the occurrence and maintain of neuropathic pain. PDCD4 is an important molecule that regulates inflammation and autophagy. However, the regulatory role of PDCD4 is unknown in pain modulation. In this study we found that the expression of PDCD4 in the spinal cord of CCI mice was increased. Inhibition of PDCD4 by intrathecal injection of adeno-associated virus alleviated neuropathic pain hypersensitivity and enhanced autophagy in CCI mice, and inhibited the activation of MAPKs, as well as the expression of inflammatory factors. Intrathecal injection of autophagy inhibitor 3-MA reversed PDCD4 inhibition induced pain relief and change of autophagy. Our results indicate that spinal cord inhibition of PDCD4 alleviates pain sensitization in neuropathic pain mice through MAPKs and autophagy, and PDCD4 may be developed into a therapeutic target of neuropathic pain treatment.
