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

The NLRP3 inflammasome contributes to the inflammatory process in atherosclerosis by producing IL-1β. Components of the intracellular NLRP3 inflammasome have been shown to be expressed by macrophages in the atherosclerotic plaque and are a potential therapeutic target. We aimed to determine the efficacy of the novel bispecific antibody InflamAb, designed to target the interleukin-1 receptor type 1 and the NLRP3 inflammasome, in inhibiting atherosclerosis. InflamAb effectively inhibited IL-1β secretion from bone marrow-derived macrophages and reduced circulating IL-1β levels in vivo. Furthermore, InflamAb treatment significantly inhibited atherosclerotic plaque development, accompanied by a reduction in relative macrophage and necrotic core content. InflamAb treatment did not affect the size of established atherosclerotic lesions; however, InflamAb significantly reduced relative macrophage and necrotic core content in these plaques. To conclude, inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome by the bispecific antibody InflamAb shows promising efficacy in inhibiting atherosclerotic plaque development and destabilization in Apoe
