A Single Amino Acid Residue Defines the Difference in NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation between NEK7 and NEK6.
Article in Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a critical component of the innate immune system that is activated by microbial infections and cellular stress signals. The molecular mechanism of NLRP3 inflammasome activation remains not fully understood. As an NLRP3-interacting partner, NEK7 has emerged as a critical mediator for NLRP3 inflammasome activation. In contrast to NEK7, NEK6, the closely related member of the NEK family, does not support NLRP3 inflammasome activation. In this study, we show that the mouse NEK7 catalytic domain, which shares high sequence identity with the counterpart of NEK6, mediates its interaction with NLRP3 and inflammasome activation in mouse macrophages. Within their catalytic domains, a single amino acid residue at a corresponding position (R121
