Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Induces Microglia Gasdermin D-Dependent Pyroptosis Through Activating the NLR Family Pyrin Domain Containing 3 Inflammasome.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a highly prevalent virus in humans and causes severe forms of inflammation, such as herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE). Pyroptosis is a new inflammatory cell death triggered by inflammasome and cysteine-requiring aspartate protease-1 (caspase-1) activation. Nonetheless, HSV-1 induces encephalitis, and cell death mechanisms are not understood. In this study, we confirmed for the first time that the DNA virus HSV-1 triggers Gasdermin D-dependent pyroptosis by activating NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes in mouse microglia, leading to mature IL-1β production and active caspase-1 (p10) release. Inhibition of microglial NLRP3 inflammasome activation suppressed HSV-1-induced Gasdermin D-dependent pyroptosis. In addition, NLRP3 and IL-1β expression levels were significantly increased in the mouse model of herpes simplex encephalitis compared with normal mice without viral infection. Collectively, our data revealed that the activation of inflammasomes and GSDMD-dependent pyroptosis is the mechanism of HSV-1 inducing inflammation and provides treatment targets for viral inflammation.
