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

Gouty arthritis results from the generation of uric acid crystals within the joints. These uric acid crystals activate the NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, which is involved in chronic inflammatory diseases, including gouty arthritis. This study identified the polyenylpyrrole derivative 4-hydroxy auxarconjugatin B (4-HAB), a novel autophagy inducer, which attenuated uric acid crystals-mediated activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in vitro and in vivo. 4-HAB dose-dependently reduced the release of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-18, active caspase-1 and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein (ASC) in uric acid crystals-activated macrophages. In a mechanistic study, 4-HAB was shown to inhibit uric acid crystals-induced mitochondrial damage, lysosomal rupture and ASC oligomerization. Additionally, 4-HAB inhibited the NLRP3 inflammasome through Sirt1-dependent autophagy induction. Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory properties of 4-HAB were confirmed in a mouse model of uric acid crystals-mediated peritonitis by the reduced levels of neutrophil influx, IL-1β, active caspase-1, IL-6 and MCP-1 in lavage fluids. In conclusion, 4-HAB attenuates gouty inflammation, in part by attenuating activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome through the Sirt1/autophagy induction pathway.
