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

Necrosis, a type of unwanted and passive cell demise, usually occurs under the excessive external stress and is considered to be unregulated. However, under some special conditions such as caspase inhibition, necrosis is regulable in a well-orchestrated way. The term 'regulated necrosis' has been proposed to describe such programed necrosis. Recently, several forms of necrosis, including necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, parthanatos, oxytosis, NETosis, and Na+/K+-ATPase-mediated necrosis, have been identified, and some crucial regulators governing regulated necrosis have also been discovered. Mixed lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL), a core regulator in necroptosis, acts as an executioner in response to ligands of death receptor family. Its activation requires the receptor-interacting protein kinases, RIP1 and RIP3. However, MLKL is only involved in necroptosis, i.e. MLKL is dispensable for necrosis. Therefore, this review is aimed at summarizing the molecular mechanisms of MLKL-dependent and MLKL-independent necrosis.
