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

Inflammasomes are protein complexes involved in the regulation of different biological conditions. Over the past few years, the role of NLRP3 in different tumor types has gained interest. In breast cancer (BC), NLRP3 has been associated with multiple processes including epithelia mesenchymal transition, invasion and metastization. Little is known about molecular modifications of NLRP3 up-regulation. In this study, in a cohort of BCs, the expression levels of NLRP3 and PYCARD were analyzed in combination with CyclinD1 and MYC ones and their gene alterations. We described a correlation between the NLRP3/PYCARD axis and CyclinD1 (p < 0.0001). NLRP3, PYCARD and CyclinD1’s positive expression was observed in estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PgR) positive cases (p < 0.0001). Furthermore, a reduction of NLRP3 and PYCARD expression has been observed in triple negative breast cancers (TNBCs) with respect to the Luminal phenotypes (p = 0.017 and p = 0.0015, respectively). The association NLRP3+/CCND1+ or PYCARD+/CCND1+ was related to more aggressive clinicopathological characteristics and a worse clinical outcome, both for progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) with respect to NLRP3+/CCND1− or PYCARD+/CCND1− patients, both in the whole cohort and also in the subset of Luminal tumors. In conclusion, our study shows that the NLRP3 inflammasome complex is down-regulated in TNBC compared to the Luminal subgroup. Moreover, the expression levels of NLRP3 and PYCARD together with the alterations of CCND1 results in Luminal subtype BC’ss poor prognosis.
