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

Staphylococcal endophthalmitis is one of the leading causes of blindness following ocular surgery and trauma. Dysregulated inflammation during bacterial endophthalmitis causes host-induced inflammatory damage and vision loss if it remains unchecked. Emerging evidence indicates that inflammasome plays a critical role in regulating innate immunity in various infectious and inflammatory diseases. However, the role of the inflammasome in endophthalmitis remains elusive. Here, using a mouse model of Staphylococcus (S) aureus endophthalmitis, we show that NLRP3/ASC/Caspase-1 signaling regulates IL-1β production in endophthalmitis. We also show that S. aureus and its cell wall components and toxins induce the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome complex in mouse eyes. Moreover, we found that both infiltrating neutrophils and retinal microglia contribute toward NLRP3 activation and IL-1β production in S. aureus-infected eyes. Furthermore, our data using NLRP3
