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

Chronic inflammation and NLRP3 inflammasome activation are among the determining factors of breast malignancies. Paclitaxel (PTX) is a drug used in breast cancer treatment which sustains prolonged inflammation, reducing the effectiveness of chemotherapy. Considering the impact of inflammatory processes in cancer progression, there is a strong concern to develop therapeutic strategy targeting NLRP3 inflammasome for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) treatment. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of PTX and NLRP3 inflammasome modulation to counterbalance TNBC by inducing programmed cell death and inhibiting the activity of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The obtained results suggested the strong interaction between NLRP3 inflammasome and TNBC and revealed that pharmacological inhibition, using NLRP3-specific inhibitor MCC950, and genetic silencing of NLRP3 inflammasome using specific small interfering RNA, reduced inflammatory responses and facilitated PTX-determined tumor cell death. Thus, NLRP3 inflammasome manipulation in combination with anti-tumor drugs opens up new therapeutic perspectives for TNBC therapy.
