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

Triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) is considered a protective factor to protect host from bacterial infection, while how it elicits this role is unclear. In the present study, we demonstrate that deficiency of triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) significantly enhanced macrophage pyroptosis induced by four common pyogenic bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli. TREM2 deficiency also decreased bacterial killing ratio of macrophage, while Caspase-1 or GSDMD inhibition promoted macrophage-mediated clearance to these bacteria. Further study demonstrated that the effect of TREM2 on macrophage pyroptosis and bacterial eradication mainly dependents on the activated status of NLRP3 inflammasome. Moreover, as the key downstream of TREM2, β-catenin phosphorylated at Ser675 by TREM2 signal and accumulated in nucleus and cytoplasm. β-catenin mediated the effect of TREM2 on NLRP3 inflammasome and macrophage pyroptosis by reducing NLRP3 expression, and inhibiting inflammasome complex assembly by interacting with ASC. Collectively, TREM2/β-catenin inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome to regulate macrophage pyroptosis, and enhances macrophage-mediated pyogenic bacterial clearance.
