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

Infection by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis (Cp), a facultative intracellular bacterium, causes mainly purulent inflammation and chronic granulomas in animals and humans. Pyroptosis is a proinflammatory form of programmed cell death that is important in response to pathogen infection. The role of pyroptosis in Cp infection and the related mechanisms are still unclear. Here, we reveal that Cp infection induces pyroptosis in macrophages. The inhibition of pyroptosis by disulfiram (DSF) or dimethyl fumarate (DMF) decreases the pathogenicity of Cp in mice and prevents the escape of this pathogen from infected macrophages. In contrast, LPS treatment achieves the opposite results in mice and macrophages infected with Cp. In addition, we revealed that phospholipase D (PLD) is a key virulence factor that induces pyroptosis and subsequently promotes Cp escape and spread in macrophages and confirmed that mutation of the enzyme active site at D66S, G80I, K114N, and G242P weakens PLD-induced pyroptosis. Furthermore, the indispensable role of the NLRP3-GSDMD axis in PLD-induced pyroptosis was confirmed using Nlrp3 knockout (Nlrp3
