Cardio-Rheumatic Diseases: Inflammasomes Behaving Badly.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Cardio-rheumatology is an evolving and interdisciplinary field lying at the intersection of rheumatology and cardiovascular medicine that recognizes that individuals with autoimmune and inflammatory rheumatic complications have a much higher likelihood of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes stimulated by the immune system after the detection of pathogens or cellular injury. Inflammasomes undergo a two-stage activation process initiated by nuclear factor (NF)-κB, subsequently playing a crucial role in innate immunity through activation of caspase 1 and the consequent release of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-18 and IL-1β. However, a loss of control of inflammasome activation can cause inflammatory diseases in humans. Recent studies have focused on the role of inflammasomes in inflammatory cascades implicated in the pathogenesis of several diseases. Here, we review inflammasome activation, its mechanism of action, and its role in CVD. In particular, we describe the role of inflammasomes in rheumatic heart disease, Kawasaki disease, familial Mediterranean fever, ankylosing spondylitis, and rheumatoid arthritis as exemplars to illustrate pathobiological mechanisms and the potential for targeting inflammasomes for therapeutic benefit.
