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

purposeThe NLRP3 inflammasome is a substantial component of the inflammation process. The complex pathogenesis of and the implication of a vast number of components in the inflammasome-activation pathway prompted us to search for compounds that have a wide therapeutic index and act at the level of multiple cellular targets. Although CRID3 blocks NLRP3 with high specificity in the laboratory, clinical trials of the compound reported weaker potency.

methodsWe used NSC328382, a P2X7R antagonist, as an adjunctive therapy and generated a strategy to potentiate the effects of CRID3 in rats with DSS-induced colitis.

resultsNSC328382/CRID3 combined therapy exhibited a significantly increased efficacy compared with either of the monotherapies. NSC328382/CRID3 was more efficient in 1) attenuating colon shortening and disease activity; 2) improving goblet cell density and both the macroscopic and microscopic scenario of the injured colon; 3) improving the antioxidant defense mechanisms of the inflamed colon against oxidative stress; and 4) mitigating the inflammation state by downregulating the proinflammatory cytokines. Pyroptotic cell death was also conspicuously restrained. Additionally, NSC328382 interrupted the MyD88/NF-κB axis. Moreover, NSC328382/CRID3 exhibited the ability to alter Th1/Th2 dominance.

conclusionThe clinical application of NSC328382/CRID3 may result in the generation of a novel approach for the treatment of IBDs.
