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

Remarkable advances have been achieved following discoveries that gasdermins are the executioners of pyroptosis. The pyroptotic process consists a subcellular permeabilization phase and a cell lysis phase, the latter of which is irreversible. Besides immune cells, pyroptosis has also been observed in cancer cells, which exhibit distinct mechanisms compared to canonical immune cell pyroptosis. Although chronic cancer cell pyroptosis fuels tumor growth, intense pyroptotic cell death in tumor cells enhances anticancer immunity by promoting killer lymphocytes infiltration. Triggering pyroptosis in cancer cells is emerging as a promising strategy for cancer treatment. In this review, we introduce the process of cancer cell pyroptosis and its role in antitumor immunity, discuss the translation of these insights into therapies, and highlight current challenges and opportunities in the investigation of cancer cell pyroptosis.
