Increasing autophagy ameliorates all-
Article in American journal of translational research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveSevere inflammation, mediated by innate immune sensors, can be observed in the retina and is considered to play an important role in the pathogenesis of retinal degeneration caused by all-
methodsThe cytotoxicity of atRAL in THP-1 macrophage cells was assessed using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, and mature IL-1β was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We measured levels of NLRP3 and cleaved caspase-1 by western blotting to evaluate the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes. Oxidative stress was validated by measuring mitochondria-associated reactive oxygen species (ROS) with MitoSOX
resultsThe maturation and release of IL-1β were regulated by the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Mitochondria-associated ROS were involved in the regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome activation and caspase-1 cleavage. In addition, atRAL functionally activated autophagy in THP-1 cells, and atRAL-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation was suppressed by autophagy.
conclusionsatRAL activates both the NLRP3 inflammasome and autophagy in THP-1 cells, and the increasing level of autophagy leads to the inhibition of excessive NLRP3 inflammasome activation. These findings shed new light on the pathogenesis of age-related retinal degeneration.
