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

Viral infections might trigger systemic inflammatory responses characterised by inflammasome activation and cytokine release, driven by immune complex (IC) formation, but the precise mechanism remains unknown. The NLRP3 inflammasome is a vital component of innate immunity that plays a significant role in inflammatory responses. The involvement of the non-receptor spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) in the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome has been demonstrated. SYK plays a critical role in signal transduction pathways of immunoreceptors and regulates NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Our previous study showed that viral antigens and their IC with specific antibodies trigger NLRP3 inflammasome activation in macrophages. Therefore, we studied the role of SYK in IC-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation pathway using primary mouse microglia as a macrophage model. The inflammasome activation was analysed by measuring cytokine secretion, ASC speck formation, and NLRP3 expression. To link SYK activation to NLRP3 inflammasome activation and other macrophage functional properties, we employed a specific SYK inhibitor, R406. We demonstrated SYK involvement in NLRP3 inflammasome activation by viral IC and in SYK-dependent antigen presentation in microglia after IC phagocytosis. Our findings also revealed lipid raft clustering upstream of SYK activation. These results may explain the mechanisms behind severe inflammation caused by viral IC.
