Transition of cellular senescence to pyroptosis mediates recurrence of small cell lung cancer after chemotherapy.
Article in Science advances, 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
Chemotherapy-induced different cell fates play crucial roles in cancer treatment outcomes; however, the cross-talk between the cell fates during cancer recurrence remains unclear. Here, we found that the transition from cellular senescence to pyroptosis promoted small cell lung cancer (SCLC) recurrence after cisplatin and etoposide treatment. Parts of the senescent SCLC cells induced by chemotherapy showed positive cytoplasmic chromatin fragments (CCFs), and CCFs activated the ubiquitin-editing enzyme A20, which stabilized NLRP3 through its deubiquitinating activity, resulting in senescent cells undergoing pyroptosis. Subsequent inflammatory factors [such as interleukin-1 (IL-1)] released by pyroptosis promoted the acquisition of stem-like properties in CCF-negative senescent cells, ultimately promoting tumor recurrence. We also found that a combination of IL-1 receptor antagonist anakinra with chemotherapy delayed recurrence of SCLC, suggesting previously unidentified therapeutic strategies for SCLC.
