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

Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is important for the pathological process of heatstroke (HS), although little is known regarding the main source of the IL-1β produced during the early stage of HS. In this study, heat stress led splenic lymphocytes to death with generation of inflammatory cytokines. The same phenomenon also occurs in animal models of heatshock. We observed that the death of splenic lymphocytes was identified to be pyroptosis. In addition, splenic lymphocyte pyroptosis can be induced by hyperpyrexia in a time- and temperature-dependent manner with NLR pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation. An NLRP3 inhibitor (MCC950) and a caspase-1 inhibitor (ac-YVAD-cmk) were used to confirm the role of the NLRP3/caspase-1 pathway in pyroptosis. With heat stress, levels of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) in splenic lymphocytes would significantly increase. Accordingly, the use of mtROS scavenger (Mito-TEMPO) could reduce the occurrence of pyroptosis and the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome
