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

abstractNeuropathic pain is pervasive among people with diabetes. The integrated stress response (ISR) is a key mechanism of translational regulation implicated in diabetic pain. In this study, we demonstrate that a reactive glycolytic metabolite, methylglyoxal (MGO), which is strongly associated with painful diabetic neuropathy, activates the ISR through the kinase general control nonderepressible 2 (GCN2). Methylglyoxal disrupts elongating ribosomes, triggering the recruitment of ribosome quality control factors and collision sensors. GCN2 activation by MGO requires the ribosomal P-stalk, a critical sensor for elongation factors. Moreover, neuronal sensitization and mechanical allodynia produced by MGO are GCN2-dependent. Overall, this study links ribosomal elongation dysfunction to metabolic pain and identifies GCN2 as a novel analgesic target for diabetic neuropathy.
