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, a novel mode of inflammatory cell death, is executed by membrane pore-forming gasdermin (GSDM) family members in response to extracellular or intracellular injury cues and is characterized by a ballooning cell morphology, plasma membrane rupture and the release of inflammatory mediators such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-18 and high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1). It is a key effector mechanism for host immune defence and surveillance against invading pathogens and aberrant cancerous cells, and contributes to the onset and pathogenesis of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Manipulating the pore-forming activity of GSDMs and pyroptosis could lead to novel therapeutic strategies. In this Review, we discuss the current knowledge regarding how GSDM-mediated pyroptosis is initiated, executed and regulated, its roles in physiological and pathological processes, and the crosstalk between different modes of programmed cell death. We also highlight the development of drugs that target pyroptotic pathways for disease treatment.
