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

A lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system causes neuropathic pain (NP). Previous experiments have demonstrated that aloperine (ALO) exhibits antiallodynic effects on neuropathic pain in mice; however, the mechanism underlying its analgesic action remains unclear. This study investigated the analgesic mechanism of ALO on neuropathic pain in mice using a chronic constriction injury (CCI) model. Experiments were conducted using the ALO and p38MAPK inhibitor SB 203580. In vivo experiments demonstrated that ALO played an analgesic role by inhibiting p38MAPK phosphorylation, and it improved mechanical allodynia, cold allodynia, and hot hyperalgesia in CCI mice, as well as having a protective effect on injured sciatic nerves. The combined administration of a subthreshold dose of ALO (20 mg/kg) with the p38MAPK inhibitor SB203580 (20 mg/kg) produced significant analgesic effects, suggesting that ALO likely shares a common target with SB203580, namely p38MAPK. Fluorescence double staining indicated that the antiallodynic effect of ALO may be related to its inhibition of the p38MAPK/FKN/CX3CR1 pathway in the spinal cord, and it may play a role in regulating the expression of p38MAPK in microglial cells. In vitro studies have shown that ALO can reduce the activation of BV
