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

In contrast to highly specific sensor molecules of the innate immune system, the NLRP3 receptor detects a broad variety of danger signals including pathogens. Sensing triggers intracellular NLRP3 inflammasome complex assembly to induce an inflammatory response with the primary aim to eliminate pathogens. However, several of them have developed distinct strategies to hijack NLRP3-dependent immunity. In this issue of EMBO Reports, Zhang and colleagues demonstrate that reovirus infection of airway epithelial cells promotes EphA2-dependent phosphorylation of NLRP3 that impedes the recruitment of other inflammasome components necessary for its activation [1]. This potentially uncovers a mechanism that may lead to reduced viral clearance in the lung, eventually contributing to life-threatening respiratory disease.
