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

backgruoundThe CXC motif chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8)-CXC motif chemokine receptor 1/2 (CXCR1/2) axis has been implicated in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Its actions on non-immune cells may also contribute to T1DM-associated complications, including painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and diabetic retinopathy (DR).

methodsWe assessed the efficacy of early (4-8 weeks) or late (8-12 weeks) daily ladarixin (LDX) for the treatment of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced T1DM and the related complications of DPN or DR in male rats.

resultsEarly LDX mitigated STZ-induced dysmetabolism (i.e., blood glucose, insulin), inflammation in dorsal root ganglion/ sciatic nerve (interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α expression) and mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia, indicative of DPN. Moreover, vitreous citrullinated histone H3 (CitH3) and plasma GRO/CINC1 (CXCL8) increase were attenuated. Late LDX failed to reverse STZ-induced changes in metabolic parameters (i.e., blood glucose, insulin, C-peptide, pancreatic β-cell number and function). Strikingly, even in the absence of an effect on glycemic control, late LDX mitigated STZ-induced mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia and vitreous (CXCL8, CitH3) and retinal (CXCL8, CXCR1/2, myeloperoxidase, CitH3) inflammatory/pro-angiogenic (vascular endothelial growth factor, CD34) signs of DR.

conclusionThese data confirm the efficacy of LDX in STZ-induced T1DM and provide evidence of a protective effect also against DPN and onset of DR which is independent of its effect on β-cell functionality preservation and glycemic control.
