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

Macrophages play a critical role in sepsis, a life-threatening systemic inflammatory syndrome that necessitates urgent therapeutic intervention. Unfortunately, no approved drugs currently target this specific pathological mechanism. In this study, we identify Igalan, a natural compound that selectively disrupts macrophage-mediated inflammatory cascades in macrophages. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that Igalan alleviates oxidative stress and maintains mitochondrial integrity. Crucially, we reveal that Igalan covalently modifies the NLRP3 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3) NACHT domain, thereby irreversibly suppressing inflammasome activation and subsequent pro-inflammatory signaling.
