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 cytochrome-b5 reductases (CYB5Rs) regulate cellular redox balance and contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. However, the roles of CYB5R5 in macrophages remain poorly understood and require further elucidation. In this study, we revealed that CYB5R5 orchestrates macrophage inflammation by inhibiting interleukin (IL)-1β production from M1 macrophages. Mechanistically, CYB5R5 enhances flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-lysine demethylase1 (LSD1) signaling to regulate the histone demethylation of complement component 1, q subcomponent (C1q)-coding genes, thereby lowering NLRP3 inflammasome assembly. We also found that myeloid depletion of Cyb5r5 in mice exacerbates inflammatory responses in LPS-induced sepsis. This study reveals that CYB5R5 attenuates M1 macrophage polarization via metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming mechanism, thus providing potential therapeutic targets for macrophage-mediated inflammatory disorders.
