Nardilysin: classical functions and new horizons in autoimmunity.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Autoimmune diseases affect 5-10% of the global population, with a prevalence of 13% in women and 7% in men. Despite advances in immunology, the molecular basis of immune dysregulation remains limited. Nardilysin (NRD convertase, NRDc), a zinc-dependent metalloendopeptidase, has been identified as an enzyme involved in this dysregulation. Recent studies have identified NRDc dysregulation as a shared feature across type 1 diabetes (T1D), rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), and vitiligo, though the specific mechanism implicated differs by the disease involved. Reported roles for NRDc include modulating the release of the immune checkpoint protein VTCN1 (B7-H4), modulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and activation of ADAM17-mediated release of TNF-α and its receptors. While NRDc is recognized for its role in immune signaling, gene transcription, cell differentiation, proliferation, homeostasis, thermogenesis, and metabolism, a unified framework connecting NRDc's multifaceted enzymatic activity to autoimmunity is currently lacking. We review current literature to construct such a framework, positioning it as hypothesis-generating by outlining specific, testable predictions to guide future investigation. Based on the literature, we propose that NRDc functions as a crucial molecular indicator and a therapeutic interface, rather than just a bystander enzyme.
