Evidence for inflammasome activation in the brain of mucopolysaccharidosis type II mice.
Article in Metabolic brain disease, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
Hunter syndrome or mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II) is an X-linked recessive disease caused by the deficiency of iduronate 2-sulfatase (IDS), leading to storage of undegraded heparan and dermatan sulfate. Patients with the severe form present neurological abnormalities, but the mechanisms of such alterations are unknown. Here, we hypothesized that the undegraded substances found in this disease could be recognized as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPS), leading to activation of the inflammasome. Brains from 2 and 5 months normal and MPS II mice were studied. We observed an increase in cathepsin B activity in the brain tissue and leakage of this enzyme from the lysosome to the cytoplasm in a MPS II neuronal cell line, which is a known activator of the inflammasome. Furthermore, Caspase-1 activity and IL-1-beta levels were elevated at 5 months, confirming that this pathway is indeed altered. Our results suggest that undegraded GAG activate the inflammasome pathway in MPS II and future studies could focus on blocking such pathway to better understand the role of this process to the pathogenesis of MPS II.
