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

PANoptosis, a newly defined inflammatory programmed cell death, plays key roles in tumor development and progression. This process involves the assembly of PANoptosome complexes under various stimuli, which activate multiple cell death pathways simultaneously. By integrating key sensors and effector molecules, PANoptosis enhances immunogenic cell death while counteracts immune evasion mechanisms. This review focuses on current research of PANoptosis in cancer. Clinically, PANoptosis-related signatures show clinical value for predicting patient survival, discerning tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) characteristics and evaluating the therapeutic response. Mechanistically, complex signaling networks regulate PANoptosis, which in turn influences tumor behavior through dynamic interactions with TIME components. Therapeutically, targeting PANoptosis-related pathways, including nanomedicine approaches, demonstrate encouraging preclinical results. Particularly, combining PANoptosis modulation with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy enhances anti-tumor efficacy. These findings position PANoptosis as a promising therapeutic target for reshaping TIME, overcoming treatment resistance, and improving cancer outcomes. Future research will focus on elucidating context-dependent PANoptosome regulation and translating these insights into precision oncology strategies.
