Review in Current opinion in immunology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 53 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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 NLRP3 inflammasome is an innate immune platform that senses various pathogens and sterile insults. NLRP3 stimulation leads to activation of caspase-1, the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and an inflammatory cell death called pyroptosis. Effectors of the NLRP3 inflammasome efficiently drive an immune response, not only providing protection in physiological settings but also promoting pathology when over activated. Generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and intracellular calcium mobilization can activate the NLRP3 inflammasome. Recent studies suggest that TRPM2 is a calcium-permeable cation channel mediating ROS-dependent NLRP3 activation. Here, we review the role of TRPM2 in NLRP3 inflammasome activation and provide an update on new functional and structural discoveries. Understanding the molecular mechanism of TRPM2 dependent NLRP3 inflammasome activation will shed lights on this complex pathway and help the developing of therapeutic strategies.
