Combined Effects of Biomarkers in NLRP3 Inflammasome Axis and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Multivessels Disease.

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.
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
backgroundInflammation plays a crucial role in adverse outcomes of coronary artery disease. NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activates 2 classical pathways: interleukin-1β (IL-1β)/IL-6/high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and IL-18/IL-6/hsCRP. However, the predictive value of pathway-related biomarkers, particularly their combinations, remains to be systematically evaluated.
objectivesThe authors aimed to explore the predictive value of individual and combined biomarkers from 2 pathways for long-term cardiovascular risk in patients with multivessel disease (MVD).
methodsFrom a prospective, multicenter cohort, 1,058 consecutive patients with MVD were enrolled. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event (MACCE-4P), a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, revascularization, and stroke.
resultsDuring a median 2-year follow-up (IQR: 2.0-2.1 years), 130/1,058 (12.3%) MACCE-4P occurred. After multivariable adjustment, higher levels of IL-1β (HR: 1.63; 95% CI: 1.15-2.32), IL-6 (1.72, 1.20-2.46), and hsCRP (1.59, 1.09-2.30) were associated with increased MACCE-4P risk, whereas IL-18 was not. For combined analysis, any 2-biomarker combination from either the IL-1β/IL-6/hsCRP or IL-18/IL-6/hsCRP pathway significantly predicted higher MACCE-4P risk (HR range: 1.84-2.19), with further risk elevation observed for the 3-biomarker combinations (HR: 3.09; 95% CI: 1.80-5.31 for IL-1β pathway; HR: 2.26; 95% CI: 1.24-4.14 for IL-18 pathway). The 4-biomarker combination (IL-1β+IL-6+IL-18+hsCRP) also predicted significantly higher MACCE-4P risk (HR: 2.64; 95% CI: 1.36-5.14). Notably, 3-/4-combined biomarkers demonstrated significant incremental predictive value over single biomarkers.
conclusionsIn patients with MVD, combined assessment of NLRP3-associated inflammatory biomarkers offers significant incremental predictive value beyond individual biomarkers. These findings highlight the importance of integrating multiple inflammatory biomarkers to better identify patients with residual inflammatory risk.
