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

Immune responses during infection, injury, and cancer proceed in the presence of tissue injury and cell death. Consequently, the system must deal with its own dead cells while it determines the appropriate response to the invader. As apoptotic cells are known to induce immune tolerance and necrotic cells can be potent stimulators of immunity, this decision becomes more complex. The key to understanding the immunologic choices made during cell death is to examine the mechanisms of tolerance induction by dying cells and then relate them to the mechanisms of immunity. Ideally, immunogenic cell death should be directed toward tumor cells and infected cells, whereas tolerogenic cell death should be associated with preventing unwanted immune responses to self. In this review, we discuss how the decision is made by focusing on the biochemical process of cell death and how its key components can influence both tolerance and immunity.
