Pyroptosis in inflammatory diseases and cancer.
Review in Theranostics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 487 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 lytic and inflammatory type of programmed cell death that is usually triggered by inflammasomes and executed by gasdermin proteins. The main characteristics of pyroptosis are cell swelling, membrane perforation, and the release of cell contents. In normal physiology, pyroptosis plays a critical role in host defense against pathogen infection. However, excessive pyroptosis may cause immoderate and continuous inflammatory responses that involves in the occurrence of inflammatory diseases. Attractively, as immunogenic cell death, pyroptosis can serve as a new strategy for cancer elimination by inducing pyroptotic cell death and activating intensely antitumor immunity. To make good use of this double-edged sword, the molecular mechanisms, and therapeutic implications of pyroptosis in related diseases need to be fully elucidated. In this review, we first systematically summarize the signaling pathways of pyroptosis and then present the available evidences indicating the role of pyroptosis in inflammatory diseases and cancer. Based on this, we focus on the recent progress in strategies that inhibit pyroptosis for treatment of inflammatory diseases, and those that induce pyroptosis for cancer therapy. Overall, this should shed light on future directions and provide novel ideas for using pyroptosis as a powerful tool to fight inflammatory diseases and cancer.
