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

Activation of gasdermin D (GSDMD) and its concomitant cardiomyocyte pyroptosis are critically involved in multiple cardiac pathological conditions. Pharmacological inhibition or gene knockout of GSDMD could protect cardiomyocyte from pyroptosis and dysfunction. Thus, seeking and developing highly potent GSDMD inhibitors probably provide an attractive strategy for treating diseases targeting GSDMD. Through structure-based virtual screening, pharmacological screening and subsequent pharmacological validations, we preliminarily identified GSDMD inhibitor Y1 (GI-Y1) as a selective GSDMD inhibitor with cardioprotective effects. Mechanistically, GI-Y1 binds to GSDMD and inhibits lipid- binding and pyroptotic pore formation of GSDMD-N by targeting the Arg7 residue. Importantly, we confirmed the cardioprotective effect of GI-Y1 on myocardial I/R injury and cardiac remodeling by targeting GSDMD. More extensively, GI-Y1 also inhibited the mitochondrial binding of GSDMD-N and its concomitant mitochondrial dysfunction. The findings of this study identified a new drug (GI-Y1) for the treatment of cardiac disorders by targeting GSDMD, and provide a new tool compound for pyroptosis research.
