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

aimsC-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10) is a member of the CXC chemokine family, known as a classical pain-related chemokine. While CXCL10 is implicated in neuropathic pain, its role in vestibular migraine (VM) remains unclear.

methodsSerum CXCL10 levels correlated with dizziness and headache severity in VM patients. In the rat VM model, CXCL10, C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3), and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway expression were evaluated to explore the potential mechanisms of CXCL10 in VM.

resultsSerum CXCL10 levels in VM patients were significantly elevated and positively correlated with headache and dizziness severity. In the rat VM model, CXCL10 and CXCR3 expression in the trigeminal nucleus caudalis and vestibular nuclei were significantly increased. Additionally, molecules related to the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and downstream inflammatory factors showed significantly elevated expression.

conclusionCXCL10 activates the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, promoting the release of inflammatory factors, including interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α, and is thus involved in the pathogenesis of VM.
