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

Inflammasomes are key inducers of inflammation in response to exogenous and endogenous stimuli, because they regulate the processing and secretion of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18. Thus, inflammasomes have a crucial role in host defence against infection, but they can also be involved in inflammatory diseases. Indeed, the NLRP3 (NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing 3) inflammasome has been shown to play a part in several inflammatory rheumatic disorders, although the mechanisms involved are better elucidated in some of these diseases than in others. In particular, the pathogenesis of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes and microcrystal-induced arthritides is thought to be dependent on activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, and IL-1 inhibition has shown efficacy as a therapeutic strategy in both groups of conditions. In this Review, we describe the current understanding of the mechanisms that trigger the inflammasome, and consider the relevance of the inflammasome to a variety of rheumatic diseases. In addition, we discuss the current therapies targeting this molecular complex, as well as future therapeutic prospects.
