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

The canonical activation of multimeric inflammasomes usually occurs through caspase-1 activation, and it is characterized by the presence of extracellular IL-1β and IL-18 or measuring danger signal proteins, such as HMGB1 using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or Western blots; these assays differentiate non-cleaved and cleaved forms of these two cytokines (the cleaved form is the mature and active form). Similar techniques can be used to assess noncanonical inflammasome activation. Real-time PCR can measure the relative mRNA expression for a specific gene, whereas Western blots or immunocytochemistry can detect the presence of proteins by binding of specific antibodies to their antigens in biological samples. Moreover, noncanonical inflammasome activation can be evaluated through the cleavage of the amino and the carboxy terminals of one important component, gasdermin D (GSDMD), whose cleavage induces its pyroptotic activity. Thus, the analysis of cleaved GSDMD is an ideal pathway to study the noncanonical inflammasome. ELISA and immunoblot can be performed on cell culture supernatants or cell extracts.
