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

Proinflammatory immune responses to Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are crucial to innate host defenses but can also contribute to pathology. How host cells sensitively detect structural features of LPS was a mystery for years, especially given that a portion of the molecule essential for its potent proinflammatory properties-lipid A-is buried in the bacterial membrane. Studies of responses to extracellular and vacuolar LPS revealed a crucial role for accessory proteins that specifically bind LPS-rich membranes and extract LPS monomers to generate a complex of LPS, MD-2, and TLR4. These insights provided means to understand better both the remarkable host sensitivity to LPS and the means whereby specific LPS structural features are discerned. More recently, the noncanonical inflammasome, consisting of caspases-4/5 in humans and caspase-11 in mice, has been demonstrated to mediate responses to LPS that has reached the host cytosol. Precisely how LPS gains access to cytosolic caspases-and in what form-is not well characterized, and understanding this process will provide crucial insights into how the noncanonical inflammasome is regulated during infection. Herein, we briefly review what is known about LPS detection by cytosolic caspases-4/5/11, focusing on lessons derived from studies of the better-characterized TLR4 system that might direct future mechanistic questions.
