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

backgroundChronic obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) drives systemic inflammation; the role of the JAK1-STAT1 pathway is unclear.

objectiveTo elucidate JAK1-STAT1 involvement in OSA-related inflammation using a chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) model.

methodsSprague-Dawley rats underwent 8-week CIH (FiO₂ cycling 5-21%, 8h/day) or normoxia (Sham). Serum cytokines (ELISA) and lung p-JAK1/p-STAT1 (Western blot/IHC) were analyzed. A CIH subset received JAK1 inhibitor filgotinib. Airway resistance was assessed via forced oscillation.

resultsCIH elevated serum IL-6/TNF-α versus Sham (p < 0.05) and increased lung p-JAK1/p-STAT1. Filgotinib reduced cytokines, suppressed p-JAK1/p-STAT1, attenuated leukocyte infiltration/collagen deposition, and improved airway resistance. Lung p-STAT1 strongly correlated with serum IL-6 (r = 0.86) and TNF-α (r = 0.82) (both p < 0.001).

conclusionJAK1-STAT1 signaling critically mediates CIH-induced inflammation. JAK1 inhibition attenuates inflammatory responses, demonstrating therapeutic potential for OSA comorbidities.
