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

Pathogenic microbes invade the human body and trigger a host immune response to defend against the infection. In response, host-adapted pathogens employ numerous virulence strategies to overcome host defense mechanisms. As a result, the interaction between the host and pathogen is a dynamic process that shapes the evolution of the host's immune response. Among the immune responses against intracellular bacteria, pyroptosis, a lytic form of cell death, is a crucial mechanism that eliminates replicative niches for intracellular pathogens and modulates the immune system by releasing danger signals. This review focuses on the role of pyroptosis in combating intracellular bacterial infection. We examine the cell type specific roles of pyroptosis in neutrophils and intestinal epithelial cells. We discuss the regulatory mechanisms of pyroptosis, including its modulation by autophagy and interferon-inducible GTPases. Furthermore, we highlight that while host-adapted pathogens can often subvert pyroptosis, environmental microbes are effectively eliminated by pyroptosis.
