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 NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a multimeric, cytoplasmic, protein complex that regulates maturation and secretion of interleukin (IL)-1β, a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine. Critical to host defense against pathogens, IL-1β amplifies early innate immune responses by activating transcription of numerous other cytokines and chemokines. Excessive IL-1β is associated with poor outcomes in inflammatory illnesses, such as sepsis and the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Tight regulation of this signaling axis is vital, but little is known about mechanisms to limit excessive inflammasome activity. Here we identify the deubiquitinase STAM-binding protein (STAMBP) as a negative regulator of the NLRP3 inflammasome. In monocytes, knockout of STAMBP by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing increased expression of numerous cytokines and chemokines in response to Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists or bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). This exaggerated inflammatory response was dependent on IL-1β signaling, and STAMBP knockout directly increased release of IL-1β with TLR ligation. While STAMBP does not modulate NLRP3 protein abundance, cellular depletion of the deubiquitinase increased NLRP3 K63 chain polyubiquitination resulting in increased NLRP3 inflammasome activation. These findings describe a unique mechanism of non-degradative ubiquitination of NLRP3 by STAMBP to limit excessive inflammasome activation and to reduce injurious IL-1β signaling.
