The analgesic mechanism of electroacupuncture at the central level for neuropathic pain: a review of studies based on animal experiments.
Review in Frontiers in neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This article analyzes the progress of animal experiments on the analgesic mechanism of electroacupuncture (EA) at the central level for neuropathic pain (NP) in the past 10 years, and summarizes the analgesic mechanism of EA at the central level for NP. EA, as a safe and reliable treatment, can treat NP by regulating the release of nociceptive neurotransmitters and receptors, upregulating the expression of non-coding RNA (ncRNA), inhibiting the activation of microglia, Ca
