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 inflammasome is part of the innate immune system that regulates the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Ebola virus (EBOV) infection of monocytes and macrophages (primary target cells early during infection) leads to the production of proinflammatory cytokines; however, the mechanism behind the activation and release of these cytokines is not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate that EBOV infection leads to the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and the subsequent secretion of IL-1β and IL-18. This process is dependent on protease caspase-1, a component of the NLRP3 inflammasome complex, but is independent of virus replication. These findings may lead to the development of novel drugs that impede the pathogenesis of EBOV infection.
