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

backgroundGabapentin is the pharmacologic treatment of choice for symptom relief in diabetic neuropathy. However, its effect on high glucose (HG)-induced neurotoxicity and genotoxicity under diabetic neuropathy conditions remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of gabapentin on cytogenotoxicity in HG-induced neuropathy in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons.

methodsDRG neurons were isolated from neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 10). After treatment of these neurons with HG (45 mmol/L) and gabapentin (1,10, 100, and 1000 µM), cell viability was assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2 H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Furthermore, the effects on DNA damage in DRG neurons exposed to HG (45 mmol/L) and gabapentin (10 and 100 µM) were investigated by comet assay.

resultsWhen HG + Gabapentin (1 µM), HG + Gabapentin (10 µM), HG + Gabapentin (100 µM), and HG + Gabapentin (1000 µM) groups were compared with the HG group, no statistically significant change in cell viability was determined (p > 0.05). HG + Gabapentin (10 µM) and HG + Gabapentin (100 µM) groups were not statistically significant in genotoxicity compared to HG group (p > 0.05).

conclusionsOur results suggest that gabapentin does not modulate HG-induced cytogenotoxicity in HG-exposed DRG neurons. Our findings, which emphasize the safety of gabapentin in diabetic neuropathy, need more detailed studies. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
