Dimethylaminoparthenolide (DMAPT) as an alternative approach for treatment of Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF).

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
objectivesFamilial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a hereditary auto-inflammatory disorder that is caused by mutations in the Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene and is associated with an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18), leading to excess inflammation. Colchicine is a common drug widely used for treatment of FMF attacks, but about 5-15% of the patients show resistance to the regular colchicine treatment. In this study, we used dimethylamino-parthenolide (DMAPT), as a small molecule inhibitor of Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), NLR family Pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), and cysteine-aspartic acid protease 1(Caspase-1) on FMF-derived peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). MATERIALS AND
methodsThe effects of DMAPT and colchicine on metabolic activity and apoptosis of FMF-derived PBMCs were evaluated by MTT and Annexin V/PI assays, respectively. Also, the expression levels of NF-κB, NLRP3, MEFV, CASP1, and IL-1β mRNA were investigated using a TaqMan real-time PCR, and the protein levels of IL-1β, IL-18, and IL-37 were assessed via an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in LPS/ ATP-stimulated PBMCs.
resultsDMAPT decreased the expression levels of NFκB (0.38±0.096,
conclusionGiven the obtained results in comparison with previous research, the future clinical development of DMAPT could result in the expansion of new anti-inflammatory therapeutics for FMF disorder.
