IL-1β enhances susceptibility to atrial fibrillation in mice by acting through resident macrophages and promoting caspase-1 expression.

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
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is more prevalent in patients with elevated interleukin (IL)-1β levels. Here we show that daily administration of IL-1β for 15 days sensitizes mice to AF, leading to fibrosis, accumulation of β-pleated sheet proteins in the left atrium, and systemic inflammation, resembling the pathophysiological changes observed in patients with AF. IL-1β administration creates a positive feedback loop, dependent on the IL-1 receptor (IL-1R) activity in cardiac resident macrophages. This results in increased caspase-1 maturation in the left atrium and elevated Il1b and Casp1 transcription in atrial macrophages. IL-1β treatment accelerated action potential and Ca
