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

Pyroptosis is a gasdermin-mediated, pro-inflammatory form of cell death distinct from apoptosis. In recent years, increasing attention has shifted toward pyroptosis as more studies demonstrate its involvement in diverse inflammatory disease states, including retinal diseases. This review discusses how currently known pyroptotic cell death pathways have been implicated in models of age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. We also identify potential future therapeutic strategies for these retinopathies that target drivers of pyroptotic cell death. Presently, the drivers of pyroptosis that have been studied the most in retinal cells are the nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, caspase-1, and gasdermin D (GSDMD). Targeting these proteins may help us develop new drug therapies, or supplement existing therapies, in the treatment of retinal diseases. As novel mechanisms of pyroptosis come to light, including those involving other inflammatory caspases and members of the gasdermin protein family, more targets for pyroptosis-mediated therapies in retinal disease can be explored.
