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
backgroundThe present study was designed to explore the pathological role of non-canonical NLRC4 inflammasome in glioma.
methodsThis retrospective study included bioinformatical analysis, including survival, gene ontology, ssGSEA, cox regression, IPA and drug repositioning with TCGA and DepMap database. Experimental validations were conducted in glioma patient's sample and evaluated with histological or cellular functional analysis.
resultClinical dataset analysis revealed that non-canonical NLRC4 inflammasomes significantly contribute to glioma progression and poor survival rates. Experimental validation was revealed that the expression of non-canonical NLRC4 inflammasomes were co-localized with astrocytes in malignant gliomas, with a sustained clinical correlation observed between astrocytes and inflammasome signatures. Indeed, the formation of an inflammatory microenvironment increased in malignant gliomas, leading to pyroptosis, known as inflammatory cell death. Molecular interaction analysis revealed that NF-κB pathways potentially serve as the connecting point between the canonical and noncanonical pathways of the NLRC4 inflammasome. Finally, drug repositioning analysis of non-canonical NLRC4 inflammasome-associated molecules revealed that MK-5108, PF4981517, and CTEP may represent effective options for glioma therapy.
conclusionThe findings of this study suggest that non-canonical NLRC4 inflammasomes contribute to poor prognosis in patients with glioma and induce an inflammatory microenvironment. We propose the pathological phenomenon of non-canonical NLRC4 inflammasomes and several therapeutic strategies based on the modulation of the inflammatory tumor microenvironment.
