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 NAIP-NLRC4 family of inflammasomes are components of the innate immune system that sound a molecular alarm in the presence of intracellular pathogens. In this chapter, we provide an in-depth guide to using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to investigate these inflammasomes, focusing especially on the techniques we used in our recent structural analysis of the NAIP5-NLRC4 inflammasome. We explain how to circumvent specific obstacles we encountered at each step, from sample preparation through data processing. The methods described here will be useful for further studies of the NAIP5-NLRC4 inflammasome and related supracomplexes involved in innate immune surveillance; they may also be useful for unrelated complexes that present similar issues, such as preferential orientations and compositional heterogeneity.
