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

backgroundCaveolin-1 (CAV1), a scaffolding protein critical for caveolae formation, regulates G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling via caveolae-mediated endocytosis. The calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR), a GPCR and core subunit of the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor, is a therapeutic target for migraine. However, the role of CAV1 in CLR regulation and migraine remains unclear.

methodsA migraine model was established in female mice via dural inflammatory soup (IS) application. Migraine-like behaviors were assessed using Von Frey filament, spontaneous pain behavior counts, light/dark box, and acetone test. CAV1 was overexpressed by lentivirus and downregulated by small interfering RNA (siRNA) technology. Methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD) was used to inhibit caveolae-mediated endocytosis. The molecular mechanism of CAV1 on CLR and neuroinflammation was investigated using biochemistry, multiplex immunohistochemistry staining, internalization assay, and co-immunoprecipitation.

resultsRepeated IS stimulation elevated CLR expression and internalization in the trigeminal nucleus caudalis (TNC), concurrently activating ERK/CREB signaling, promoting microglial activation, and increasing inflammatory cytokines (TNFα, IL-1β). CAV1 directly interacted with CLR, promoting its degradation. CAV1 knockdown in the TNC exacerbated migraine pathology, characterized by CLR accumulation, enhanced ERK/CREB phosphorylation, and amplified neuroinflammation. Conversely, CAV1 overexpression or MβCD-mediated caveolae disruption normalized CLR levels, reduced signaling hyperactivity, and reversed nociceptive behaviors.

conclusionCAV1 negatively regulates CLR stability, suppressing ERK/CREB signaling and microglial inflammation in a preclinical female migraine model. These findings suggest that CAV1 contributes to migraine-related hyperalgesia and may represent a novel therapeutic target for migraine treatment.
