Associations Between Blood Levels of NLRP3 Inflammasome Components and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
Article in Noro psikiyatri arsivi, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Introduction: Even though the effect of inflammation on pathogenesis of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is known, information regarding the underlying mechanisms are yet to be revealed. The NLRP3 inflammasome complex is an important component of the innate immune system that initiates and mediates inflammatory response to a variety of stimuli. This study aims to inquire into a possible association between NLRP3 inflammasome complex and OCD. Methods: This case-control study included 103 participants (51 cases with OCD and 52 healthy controls). All participants were evaluated with the Yale Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale, Hamilton Depression Scale, and Hewitt Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale. RNA and proteins were extracted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Expression of NLRP3 inflammasome components were determined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blotting. Levels of Serum IL-1beta and IL-18 cytokine were determined by ELISA. Results: NEK7 and CASP1 mRNA levels were significantly higher in OCD patients, compared to controls. Pro-caspase-1 protein levels were elevated, as well. Regression analysis showed that NEK7 mRNA and pro-caspase-1 protein levels can differentiate OCD and healthy control groups. Conclusion: Our results provide insight into the molecular alterations that could explain the inflammation-OCD association.
