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

Skin ageing accelerates systemic ageing and impairs the body's disease resistance. Inflammaging is a significant contributor to skin ageing. However, the mechanism by which inflammatory factors contribute to skin ageing remains unclear. We conducted screenings and identified CXC motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10) as an inducer of skin ageing, which can be effectively inhibited by magnolin extracted from Magnolia biondii flower. Our results show that CXCL10 not only enhances beta-galactosidase (β-gal) activity but also upregulates the expression of p21/p16, along with matrix metalloproteinases (MMP1, MMP9 and MMP10), through activation of the C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3) in human primary fibroblasts. These findings suggest that CXCL10 drives skin ageing by inducing cellular senescence and extracellular matrix degradation. Importantly, treatment with magnolin significantly mitigates skin ageing phenotypes induced by CXCL10 via the p38 signalling pathway. Furthermore, our study demonstrates that magnolin significantly mitigates UV-induced skin ageing in ex vivo human skin samples as well as on human facial skin. This study provides insight into the role of chemokine CXCL10 in promoting inflammaging and proposes an innovative approach for preventing and treating skin ageing.
