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

Microtubules play critical roles in regulating the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and microtubule-destabilizing agents such as colchicine have been shown to suppress the activation of this inflammasome. However, it remains largely unknown whether paclitaxel, a microtubule-stabilizing agent being used in cancer therapy, has any influences on NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Here we showed that paclitaxel pre-treatment greatly enhanced ATP- or nigericin-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation as indicated by increased release of cleaved caspase-1 and mature IL-1β, enhanced formation of ASC speck, and increased gasdermin D cleavage and pyroptosis. Paclitaxel time- and dose-dependently induced α-tubulin acetylation in LPS-primed murine and human macrophages and further increased ATP- or nigericin-induced α-tubulin acetylation. Such increased α-tubulin acetylation was significantly suppressed either by resveratrol or NAD
