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

The studies on how mast cells mediate endometriosis pain are still limited. Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor member X2 (MRGPRX2), a receptor expressed on mast cells, participates in pain, inflammation, and itch. However, it is still unclear whether and how MRGPRX2 mediates endometriosis pain. Here, we found that the knockout of mast cells alleviated endometriosis-induced hyperalgesia. The density of MRGPRX2-positive mast cells was increased in endometriotic lesions. HBD-2 was secreted from endometriotic cells. Upon HBD-2 treatment, a significant increase in histamine release in the culture supernatant of HMC1.1 cells was detected, whereas no change in histamine levels was observed in the supernatant of MRGPRX2 KO cells. An incubation with histamine increased Ca2+ influx in DRG cells in vitro, whereas desloratadine reversed this process. In Mrgprb2-deficient endometriosis model mice, gene ablation effectively alleviated hyperalgesia and reduced the size of endometriotic lesions. Overall, MRGPRX2 mediates cell-induced endometriosis pain through sensory neurons sensitization via the histamine/HRH1/TRPV1 signaling pathway and can serve as a novel therapeutic target for endometriosis pain.
