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 noncanonical inflammasome, comprising inflammatory caspases 4, 5, or 11, monitors the cytosol for bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Intracellular LPS-elicited autoproteolysis of these inflammatory caspases leads to the cleavage of the pore-forming protein gasdermin D (GSDMD). GSDMD pore formation induces a lytic form of cell death known as pyroptosis and the release of inflammatory cytokines and DAMPs, thereby promoting inflammation. The noncanonical inflammasome-dependent innate sensing of cytosolic LPS plays important roles in bacterial infections and sepsis pathogenesis. Exciting studies in the recent past have significantly furthered our understanding of the biochemical and structural basis of the caspase-4/11 activation of GSDMD, caspase-4/11's substrate specificity, and the biological consequences of noncanonical inflammasome activation of GSDMD. This review will discuss these recent advances and highlight the remaining gaps in our understanding of the noncanonical inflammasome and pyroptosis.
