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

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulate the activities of inflammasomes, which are innate immune signaling organelles that induce pyroptosis. The mechanisms by which ROS control inflammasome activities are unclear and may be multifaceted. Herein, we report that the protein gasdermin D (GSDMD), which forms membrane pores upon cleavage by inflammasome-associated caspases, is a direct target of ROS. Exogenous and endogenous sources of ROS, and ROS-inducing stimuli that prime cells for pyroptosis induction, promote oligomerization of cleaved GSDMD, leading to membrane rupture and cell death. We find that ROS enhance GSDMD activities through oxidative modification of cysteine 192 (C192). Within macrophages, GSDMD mutants lacking C192 show impaired ability to form membrane pores and induce pyroptosis. Reciprocal mutagenesis studies reveal that C192 is the only cysteine within GSDMD that mediates ROS responsiveness. Cellular redox state is therefore a key determinant of GSDMD activities.
