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.

Abstract

Human samples of patients with chronic pericarditis and appropriate control subjects were stained for the inflammasome components. A mouse model of pericarditis was developed through the intrapericardial injection of zymosan A. Different inflammasome blockers were tested in the mouse model. Patients with pericarditis presented an intensification of the inflammasome activation compared with control subjects. The experimental model showed the pathological features of pericarditis. Among inflammasome blockers, NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor, anakinra, and interleukin-1 trap were found to significantly improve pericardial alterations. Colchicine partially improved the pericardial inflammation. An intense activation of the inflammasome in pericarditis was demonstrated both in humans and in mice.
