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

Exercise can enhance the body's ability to resist infections, but its molecular mechanisms are still unclear. Here, we found that exercise can induce a hyperactivation-like state of the NLRP3 inflammasome during infection, which enhances the body's ability to resist infection by continuously secreting inflammatory cytokines and reducing immune cell pyroptosis. At the molecular level, exercise enhances the binding between CNDP2 and GSDMD, promoting the production of γ-Glu-Cys. γ-Glu-Cys binds to CypD and inhibits the binding between CypD and GSDMD, thereby avoiding further damage to the mitochondrial inner membrane during the occurrence of inflammasomes. Limited mitochondrial DNA leakage allows the NLRP3 inflammasome to a hyperactivate state. Our findings reveal the molecular mechanisms by which exercise enhances the body's ability to resist infections, and provide possible standards for better guiding exercise intensity to improve anti-infection capabilities in the future.
