The intricate biophysical puzzle of caspase-1 activation.
Review in Archives of biochemistry and biophysics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
This review takes a closer look at the structural components of the molecules involved in the processes leading to caspase-1 activation. Interleukins 1β and 18 (IL-1β, IL-18) are well-known proinflammatory cytokines that are produced following cleavage of their respective precursor proteins by the cysteine protease caspase-1. Active caspase-1 is the final step of the NLRP3 inflammasome, a three-protein intracellular complex involved in inflammation and induction of pyroptosis (a proinflammatory cell-death process). NLRP3 activators facilitate assembly of the inflammasome complex and subsequent activation of caspase-1 by autoproteolysis. However, the definitive structural components of active caspase-1 are still unclear and new data add to the complexity of this process. This review outlines the historical and recent findings that provide supporting evidence for the structural aspects of caspase-1 autoproteolysis and activation.
