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

Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor pyrin domain-containing 6 (NLRP6) is a pattern recognition receptor that is highly expressed in microglia and forms a cytosolic inflammasome to aggravate neuroinflammation and neuronal injury during ischemic stroke. However, the post-translational mechanisms regulating the NLRP6 inflammasome activation are not well characterized. Herein, we demonstrated that the phosphorylation of NLRP6 was markedly increased in response to cerebral ischemia and was closely associated with NLRP6 inflammasome function. Serine 27 (Ser27) was identified as a conserved phosphorylation site in NLRP6, and NLRP6 inflammasome activity was tightly regulated by phosphorylation at this site. Moreover, the oligomerization and subsequent inflammasome assembly and activation of NLRP6 were positively regulated by Ser27 phosphorylation. Phenotypically, dephosphorylation at the Ser27 site blocked NLRP6 inflammasome activation in ischemic stroke, drastically reducing inflammasome-related neuroinflammation and neurological injury in vitro and in vivo. Our findings demonstrate a pivotal mechanism regulating NLRP6 inflammasome activation in ischemic stroke and provide evidence for the therapeutic targeting of NLRP6 Ser27 phosphorylation.
