Multiple ASC-dependent inflammasomes drive differential pro-inflammatory cytokine production in a mouse model of tendinopathy.
Article in Bioscience reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes that regulate the bioactive production of IL-1β and IL-18, being implicated in the inflammatory response of different diseases. The inflammasome formed by the cytosolic sensor NLRP3 is highly promiscuous, as it could be activated by different pathogen- and sterile-signals. However, few models have studied the implication of NLRP3 in tissue damage-induced inflammation, particularly the implication of NLRP3 in tendinopathies. Here, we aimed to investigate the implication of NLRP3 in a mouse model of tendinopathy by collagenase degradation of the extracellular matrix in the Achilles' mice tendon. We found that NLRP3 was involved in the production of IL-1β, but another ASC-dependent inflammasome was required to produce IL-18 during sterile tissue damage. Our study suggests that in the immune response to extracellular matrix degradation different inflammasomes, probably expressed in different cell compartments, were able to differentially control IL-1β and IL-18 production in vivo. These results suggest the potential use of therapies targeting ASC as beneficial in the treatment of tendinopathies.
