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

Pyroptosis is a recently-identified form of inflammatory caspase-dependent programmed cell death that is closely associated with many diseases. Real-time imaging of pyroptosis is crucial for monitoring the inflammatory pathological process. Caspase-1, a representative of inflammatory caspase, plays a pivotal role in pyroptosis and inflammatory diseases. Therefore, caspase-1 activity can reflect pyroptosis and related inflammatory states. Herein, we report on a variety of caspase-1 activatable probes based on potential hydrolytic peptides of caspase-1. Through systematic performance evaluation, we identified that FPy1 designed based on the cleavage of pyroptosis-related protein GSDMD exhibits the best detection performance. Thus, the specific peptide -FLTDG- from GSDMD could serve as a potential responsive element for the design of caspase-1 or pyroptosis-related probes. Owing to the outstanding performance of FPy1, we further applied it to monitor pyroptosis processes in three distinct biological contexts,
