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

Neuropathic pain (NP) is a chronic pain condition caused by damage or disease of the somatosensory system and often forms a comorbid state with anxiety, severely affecting patients' quality of life. The occurrence of this comorbidity involves the interplay of multiple mechanisms, including neuroinflammation, metabolic abnormalities, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysregulation, and imbalances in central neurotransmitter systems. In recent years, research on the mechanisms by which gut microbiota-derived metabolites regulate NP and anxiety via the "gut-brain axis" has garnered increasing attention. Among the numerous gut microbiota-derived metabolites, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), bile acids (BAs), serotonin (5-HT), and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) are considered key signaling molecules. They collectively participate in the pathological process of NP-anxiety comorbidity by regulating immune responses, metabolic pathways, and neural pathways. This review focuses on these five metabolites, analyzing the bridging role of their functional abnormalities in this comorbidity and future directions in this field.
