Evaluation of CXCL12 Diagnostic Performance in Tick-Borne Encephalitis and Other Central Nervous System Infections.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
CXCL12 is a chemokine acting via CXCR4 that plays a key role in inflammatory processes by regulating leukocyte migration and immune responses, making it an important focus of research in neuroinfections. In this study, the CXCL12 chemokine was evaluated as a potential diagnostic marker of different neuroinfections with particular emphasis on tick-borne encephalitis (TBE). A group of 214 patients with confirmed meningitis and/or encephalitis was included and divided according to etiology into TBE, aseptic meningitis, neuroborreliosis, and purulent meningitis. CXCL12 concentration and other inflammatory parameters were measured in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CXCL12 levels were compared with those of controls (
