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

Aberrant activation of the NACHT, LRR, and PYD domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome contributes to the pathogenesis of fatal and perplexing pulmonary diseases. Although pharmacological inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome brings potent therapeutic effects in clinical trials and preclinical models, the molecular chaperones and transition governing its transformation from an auto-suppressed state to an active oligomer remain controversial. Here, this work shows that sesquiterpene bigelovin inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation and downstream pro-inflammatory cytokines release via canonical, noncanonical, and alternative pathways at nanomolar ranges. Chemoproteomic target identification discloses that bigelovin covalently bound to Cys168 of RACK1, disrupting the interaction between RACK1 and NLRP3 monomer and thereby suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome oligomerization in vitro and in vivo. Bigelovin treatment significantly alleviates the severity of NLRP3-related pulmonary disorders in murine models, such as LPS-induced ARDS and silicosis. These results consolidated the intricate role of RACK1 in transiting the NLRP3 state and provided a new anti-inflammatory lead and therapy for NLRP3-driven diseases.
