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) is considered to be a pathological form of cell death when mediated by an intracellular program and it balances cell death with survival of normal cells. Pyroptosis, a type of PCD, is induced by the inflammatory caspase cleavage of gasdermin D (GSDMD) and apoptotic caspase cleavage of gasdermin E (GSDME). This review aims to summarize the latest molecular mechanisms about pyroptosis mediated by pore-forming GSDMD and GSDME proteins that permeabilize plasma and mitochondrial membrane activating pyroptosis and apoptosis. We also discuss the potentiality of pyroptosis as a therapeutic target in human diseases. Blockade of pyroptosis by compounds can treat inflammatory disease and pyroptosis activation contributes to cancer therapy.
