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

Cardiac dysfunction develops during sepsis in humans and rodents. In the model of polymicrobial sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), we investigated the role of the NLRP3 inflammasome in the heart. Mouse heart homogenates from sham-procedure mice contained high mRNA levels of NLRP3 and IL-1β. Using the inflammasome protocol, exposure of cardiomyocytes (CMs) to LPS followed by ATP or nigericin caused release of mature IL-1β. Immunostaining of left ventricular frozen sections before and 8 h after CLP revealed the presence of NLRP3 and IL-1β proteins in CMs. CLP caused substantial increases in mRNAs for IL-1β and NLRP3 in CMs which are reduced in the absence of either C5aR1 or C5aR2. After CLP, NLRP3
