The small molecule NLRP3 inhibitor RRx-001 potentiates regorafenib activity and attenuates regorafenib-induced toxicity in mice bearing human colorectal cancer xenografts.
Article in American journal of cancer research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The multi-kinase inhibitor Regorafenib, approved for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer, is poorly tolerated with a Grade 3/4 drug related adverse event rate of 54% resulting in frequent dose reductions and discontinuations. RRx-001 is a minimally toxic NLRP3 inhibitor small molecule with macrophage-repolarizing properties in Phase 3 clinical trials. Studies have demonstrated the inhibitory impact of M2 macrophages on the activity of tyrosine kinases, suggesting that the repolarization of macrophages by RRx-001 may enhance the activity of TKIs. The purpose of these experiments was to determine whether RRx-001 demonstrated
