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 pathways play important roles in a wide variety of physiological processes. Although it has similarities with apoptosis pyroptosis is a different type of programmed cell death. Pyroptosis can be triggered by different molecules originating from the cells or their environment. Once a pyroptotic pathway is started, it is followed by different molecular steps, and, it ends with the disruption of cell membrane integrity and the onset of inflammatory processes. In addition to the role of pyroptosis in the host's innate immunity against pathogens, uncontrolled pyroptosis can lead to increased inflammation and lead various diseases. The contradictory role of pyroptosis-related molecular changes in the pathogenesis of cancer has attracted attention lately. Excessive or decreased expression of molecules involved in pyroptotic pathways is associated with various cancers. There are ongoing studies on the use of different treatment methods for cancer in combination with new therapies targeting pyroptosis. The potential beneficial effects or side-effect profiles of these protocols targeting pyroptosis still need to be investigated. This will provide us with more efficient and safer options to treat cancer. This review aims to overview the main pathways and mechanisms of pyroptosis and to discuss its role in cancer.
