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

Receptor interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) is an essential serine/threonine kinase for necroptosis, a type of regulated necrosis. A variety of stimuli can cause RIPK3 activation through phosphorylation. Activated RIPK3 in turn phosphorylates and activates the downstream necroptosis executioner mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL). Necroptosis is a highly inflammatory type of cell death because of the release of intracellular immunogenic contents from disrupted plasma membrane. Indeed, RIPK3-deficient mice exhibited reduced inflammation in many inflammatory disease models. These results have been interpreted as evidence that necroptosis is a key driver for RIPK3-induced inflammation. Interestingly, recent studies show that RIPK3 also regulates NF-κB, inflammasome activation, and kinase-independent apoptosis. These studies also reveal that these nonnecroptotic functions contribute significantly to disease pathogenesis. In this review, we summarize our current understanding of necroptotic and nonnecroptotic functions of RIPK3 and discuss how these effects contribute to RIPK3-mediated inflammation.
