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

The pathophysiologic mechanisms of human chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) remain unclear. We aimed to elucidate expression and biologic role of NLRP3 inflammasome in CRSwNP. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was conducted to assess NLRP3 immunolabeling, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used for IL-9 and NLRP3, and caspase-1 level quantitation in CRSwNP and control subjects. In addition, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed for analyzing concentrations of IL-1β and IL-18 in the homogenates prepared from tissue specimens. Moreover, human nasal epithelial cells (HNECs) were used to evaluate the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and glyburide on NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway. Results showed that NLRP3 and caspase-1 were overexpressed in CRSwNP, especially in eosinophilic CRSwNP (ECRSwNP). Interestingly, NLRP3 expression had close correlation to that of caspase-1. Concentrations of IL-1β and IL-18 were elevated. NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway was augmented by LPS but suppressed by glyburide. In conclusion, NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway played a pro-inflammatory role in the pathogenesis of CRSwNP, especially in ECRSwNP. NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway was augmented by LPS, but suppressed by glyburide.
