Increased expression of caspase 1 during active phase of connective tissue disease.
Article in PeerJ, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Key factors of pyroptosis play an important role in the inflammatory response to connective tissue disease (CTD). However, information on active and stable stages of CTD is scarce. To distinguish the differences of concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP), caspase 1, caspase 4, caspase 5 and sCD14 in plasma between the patients with active and stable stages of CTD. A cohort study was conducted to recruit patients diagnosed with CTD of active phase and stable phase as well as health control. These data included the analysis of the concentration of sCD14, caspase 1, caspase 4 and caspase 5 in peripheral plasma by ELISA. The Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to compare the two groups. The sex ratio and ages of the three groups were not different statistically. The concentrations of sCD14, caspase4 and caspase5 of plasma in the CTD of active phase and the stable phase as well as the health control. The concentration of caspase 1 in active phase of CTD (470.19 [422.33-513.14] pmol/L) was significantly higher than that in stable group (203.95 [160.94-236.12] pmol/L) and healthy control (201.65 [191.11-240.35] pmol/L] pmol/L) (
