Cathepsin B induces kidney diseases through different types of programmed cell death.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Cathepsin B (CTSB), a key cysteine protease, plays essential roles in physiological and pathological processes. As research progresses, interest in how CTSB triggers different types of programmed cell death (PCD) to induce the onset and development of diseases is increasing. Several recent studies suggest that different types of PCD mediated by CTSB play key roles in kidney diseases. In this review, we outline the fundamental mechanisms by which CTSB triggers different types of PCD in several kidney diseases and discuss the function of CTSB in various segments of the kidney. Moreover, we explore the possibilities and prospects of using CTSB as a therapeutic target for kidney diseases.
