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

NLRP3 is an intracellular sensor molecule that affects neutrophil functionality and infiltration in brain disorders such as experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). However, the detailed molecular mechanisms underlying the role of NLRP3 in these processes remain unknown. We found that NLRP3 is crucial for neutrophil infiltration, whereas dispensable for neutrophil priming. Notably, NLRP3 activation in neutrophils induced blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and neutrophil infiltration into the brain via CXCL1/2 secretion and subsequent activation of the CXCL1/2-CXCR2 signaling axis. Moreover, CXCL1 and CXCL2 in the inflamed brain directly reduced Claudin-5 expression, which regulates BBB permeability in brain endothelial cells. Furthermore, neutrophil-specific NLRP3 activation aggravated EAE pathogenesis by promoting CXCR2-mediated infiltration of both neutrophils and CD4
