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

Nutritional status and pyroptosis are important for host defence against infections. However, the molecular link that integrates nutrient sensing into pyroptosis during microbial infection is unclear. Here, using metabolic profiling, we found that Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection results in a significant decrease in intracellular glucose levels in macrophages. This leads to activation of the glucose and energy sensor AMPK, which phosphorylates the essential kinase RIPK1 at S321 during caspase-8-mediated pyroptosis. This phosphorylation inhibits RIPK1 activation and thereby restrains pyroptosis. Boosting the AMPK-RIPK1 cascade by glucose deprivation, AMPK agonists, or RIPK1-S321E knockin suppresses pyroptosis, leading to increased susceptibility to Y. pseudotuberculosis infection in mice. Ablation of AMPK in macrophages or glucose supplementation in mice is protective against infection. Thus, we reveal a molecular link between glucose sensing and pyroptosis, and unveil a mechanism by which Y. pseudotuberculosis reduces glucose levels to impact host AMPK activation and limit host pyroptosis to facilitate infection.
