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

This study aims to compare the levels of NLRP3 inflammasome and its related cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-17), in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), non-inflammatory chronic polyneuropathy, and functional neurological disorders. The results showed elevated NLRP3 inflammasome, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-17 levels in serum but not in CSF of CIDP, compared to the other groups. Moreover, there was a positive correlation between NLRP3 inflammasome level and each cytokine. We also found a positive correlation between serum NLRP3 inflammasome level and disease severity in CIDP patients. Taken together, these results suggested that NLRP3 inflammasome could act as a potential biomarker to diagnose CIDP and assess the severity of the disease.
