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

Programmed cell death (PCD) plays critical roles in development, homeostasis, and both control and progression of a plethora of diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative pathologies. Besides classical apoptosis, several different forms of PCD have now been recognized, including necroptosis. The way a cell dies determines the reaction of the surrounding environment, and immune activation in response to cell death proceeds in a manner dependent on which death pathways are activated. Apoptosis and necroptosis are major mechanisms of cell death that typically result in opposing immune responses. Apoptotic death usually leads to immunologically silent responses whereas necroptotic death releases molecules that promote inflammation, a process referred to as necroinflammation. Diseases of the nervous system, in particular neurodegenerative diseases, are characterized by neuronal death and progressive neuroinflammation. The mechanisms of neuronal death are not well defined and significant cross-talk between pathways has been suggested. Moreover, it has been proposed that the dying of neurons is a catalyst for activating immune cells in the brain and sustaining inflammatory output. In the current review we discuss the effects of apoptotis and necroptosis on inflammatory immune activation, and evaluate the roles of each cell death pathway in a variety of pathologies with specific focus on neurodegeneration. A putative model is proposed for the regulation of neuronal death and neuroinflammation that features a role for both the apoptotic and necroptotic pathways in disease establishment and progression.
