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

Inflammasome activation and pyroptotic cell death are known to contribute to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, although the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we report that expression levels of the E3 ubiquitin ligase membrane-associated RING finger protein 2 (MARCH2) were elevated in ischemic human hearts or mouse hearts upon I/R injury. Genetic ablation of MARCH2 aggravated myocardial infarction and cardiac dysfunction upon myocardial I/R injury. Single-cell RNA-seq analysis suggested that loss of MARCH2 prompted activation of NLRP3 inflammasome in cardiomyocytes. Mechanistically, phosphoglycerate mutase 5 (PGAM5) was found to act as a novel regulator of MAVS-NLRP3 signaling by forming liquid-liquid phase separation condensates with MAVS and fostering the recruitment of NLRP3. MARCH2 directly interacts with PGAM5 to promote its K48-linked polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, resulting in reduced PGAM5-MAVS co-condensation, and consequently inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome activation and cardiomyocyte pyroptosis. AAV-based re-introduction of MARCH2 significantly ameliorated I/R-induced mouse heart dysfunction. Altogether, our findings reveal a novel mechanism where MARCH2-mediated ubiquitination negatively regulates the PGAM5/MAVS/NLRP3 axis to protect against cardiomyocyte pyroptosis and myocardial I/R injury.
