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

Severe influenza A virus (IAV) infections are associated with hyperinflammation and significant lung damage. Gasdermin E (GSDME) mediates pyroptosis, a lytic and inflammatory type of cell death. Cleavage of GSDME by caspase-3 releases the active N-terminal domain, which subsequently forms transmembrane pores, leading to cell lysis and death. In this study, we investigated a role for GSDME in severe influenza. Infection of human bronchial epithelial cells revealed that IAV induces GSDME cleavage and activation, with the magnitude and kinetics of GSDME activation differing between IAV strains. Caspase-3-mediated GSDME activation preceded and overwhelmed gasdermin D (GSDMD) activation. siRNA silencing in vitro confirmed both gasdermins are active in human bronchial epithelial cells and cooperate to drive IAV responses. IAV infection of mice promoted GSDME cleavage in E-cadherin
