Cortical microinfarcts potentiate recurrent ischemic injury through NLRP3-dependent trained immunity.
Article in Cell death & disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Microinfarcts are common among the elderly and patients with microinfarcts are more vulnerable to another stroke. However, the impact of microinfarcts on recurrent stroke has yet to be fully understood. The purpose of this study was to explore the negative effects of microinfarcts on recurrent stroke. To achieve this, two-photon laser was used to induce microinfarcts, while photothrombotic stroke was induced on the opposite side. The results showed that microinfarcts led to trained immunity in microglia, which worsened the pro-inflammatory response and ischemic injury in the secondary photothrombotic stroke. Additionally, the study clarified the role of NLRP3 in microglial nuclei, indicating that it interacts with the MLL1 complex through NACHT domain and increases H3K4 methylation, which suggests that NLRP3 is critical in the formation of innate immune memory caused by microinfarcts. Furthermore, the knockout of NLRP3 in microglia alleviated the trained immunity and reduced the harmful effects of microinfarcts on recurrent stroke. This study emphasizes the detrimental effect of trained immunity on recurrent stroke and highlights the critical role of NLRP3 in mediating the formation of this memory, which may offer a potential therapeutic target for mitigating recurrent strokes.
