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

Missense mutation in the proline-serine-threonine phosphatase-interacting protein 2 (Pstpip2) gene results in the development of spontaneous chronic bone disease characterized by bone deformity and inflammation that is reminiscent of patients with chronic multifocal osteomyelitis (cmo). Interestingly, this disease is specifically mediated by IL-1β but not IL-1α. The precise molecular pathways that promote pathogenic IL-1β production inPstpip2(cmo)mice remain unidentified. Furthermore, how IL-1β provokes inflammatory bone disease inPstpip2(cmo)mice is not known. Here, we demonstrate that double deficiency of Nod like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) and caspase 8 inPstpip2(cmo)mice provides similar protection as observed in caspase-1 and caspase-8-deficientPstpip2(cmo)mice, demonstrating redundant roles for the NLRP3 inflammasome and caspase 8 in provoking osteomyelitic disease inPstpip2(cmo)mice. Consistently, immunofluorescence studies exhibited distinct caspase-1 and caspase-8 puncta in diseasedPtpn6(spin)neutrophils. Data from our chimera studies demonstrated that IL-1β produced by hematopoietic cells is sensed by the radioresistant compartment to promote bone disease. Furthermore, our results showed that the IL-1β signaling is unidirectional and feedback signaling of IL-1β onto the hematopoietic compartment is not important for disease induction. In conclusion, our studies have uncovered the combined actions of the NLRP3 inflammasome and caspase 8 leading to IL-1β maturation and the directionality of IL-1β in driving disease inPstpip2(cmo)mice.
