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

Lung endothelial cell apoptosis and injury occur throughout all stages of acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome and impact disease progression. Caspases 1, 4, and 5 are essential for completion of the apoptotic program known as pyroptosis that also involves proinflammatory cytokines. Because gasdermin D (GSDMD) mediates pyroptotic death and is essential for pore formation, we hypothesized that it might direct caspase 1-encapsulated microparticle (MP) release and mediate endothelial cell death. Our present work provides evidence that GSDMD is released by LPS-stimulated THP-1 monocytic cells, where it is packaged into microparticles together with active caspase 1. Furthermore, only MP released from stimulated monocytic cells that contain both cleaved GSDMD and active caspase 1 induce endothelial cell apoptosis. MPs pretreated with caspase 1 inhibitor Y-VAD or pan-caspase inhibitor Z-VAD do not contain cleaved GSDMD. MPs from caspase 1-knockout cells are also deficient in p30 active GSDMD, further confirming that caspase 1 regulates GSDMD function. Although control MPs contained cleaved GSDMD without caspase 1, these fractions were unable to induce cell death, suggesting that encapsulation of both caspase 1 and GSDMD is essential for cell death induction. Release of microparticulate active caspase 1 was abrogated in GSDMD knockout cells, although cytosolic caspase 1 activation was not impaired. Last, higher concentrations of microparticulate GSDMD were detected in the plasma of septic patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome than in that of healthy donors. Taken together, these findings suggest that GSDMD regulates the release of microparticulate active caspase 1 from monocytes essential for induction of cell death and thereby may play a critical role in sepsis-induced endothelial cell injury.
