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

backgroundThe NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is crucial for innate immunity. However, its uncontrolled and dysregulated activation may cause various inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. Therefore, tight regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome is necessary. Numerous post-translational modifications (PTMs) are reported to play a critical role in regulating NLRP3 inflammasome activation, including (de-)phosphorylation, (de-)ubiquitination, (de-)SUMOylation, (de-)palmitoylation, (de-)acetylation, deglutathionylation, ISGylation, S-nitrosylation, and alkylation. In addition, the subcellular localization of NLRP3, involving endoplasmic reticulum (ER), mitochondria, Golgi, endosomes, and the microtubule-organizing center (MTOC), is also closely related to inflammasome assembly and activation. AIMS OF REVIEW: This review first describes the effects of recently found PTMs on NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Furthermore, the stage at which PTMs occur is elucidated in detail while previous reviews do not distinguish it very clearly. In addition, based on the subcellular distribution of NLRP3, this review proposes a novel spatiotemporal activation of this inflammasome. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW: This review highlights the innovative findings about the effects of PTMs and localization on NLRP3 inflammasome, which enrich the regulatory networks of this inflammasome and offer references for potential clinical translation in the future.
