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

Identifying novel therapeutic targets involved in the multiple mechanisms underlying the complex pathophysiology of type 1 diabetes (T1D) could change the natural history of this disease. The CXCL8-CXCR1/2 axis is emerging as a therapeutic target with a crucial, multifaceted role in T1D pathophysiology. CXCL8-dependent neutrophil chemotaxis to the pancreas precedes autoimmunity, and CXCR1/2 blockade mitigates insulitis and T1D development in preclinical models. In parallel, CXCL8 can act in a β cell-autonomous manner, and exert non-immune actions on adipocytes, hepatocytes, podocytes, and muscle cells that contribute to insulin resistance and diabetic complications. In this review, we delineate compelling evidence of immune and non-immune actions of the axis in the onset and progression of T1D. We show that the CXCL8-CXCR1/2 axis represents a promising therapeutic target for the prevention/reversal of T1D, with a meaningful potential clinical advantage conveyed by its role in multiple components of the pathology and diabetic complications.
