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

This study aimed to investigate the analgesic effects of lidocaine (Lido) on diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP), a common complication of diabetes, and to elucidate the underlying mechanism. A DNP mouse model was established by a single streptozotocin injection at 200 mg/kg. Two weeks later, mice received intraperitoneal infusion with 2% Lido for 7 consecutive days. The analgesic effect of Lido was assessed by pain behavioral tests. Astrocyte activation, pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, and CXCL13 and CXCR5 expression were examined in mechanistic studies. Lido significantly improved mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia in DNP mice. Lido reduced spinal astrocyte activation and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in DNP mice. It also inhibited CXCL13 and CXCR5 expression, with their upregulation diminishing Lido's analgesic effects. Lido alleviates DNP by inhibiting spinal astrocyte activation via modulation of the CXCL13/CXCR5 axis.
