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

Arguably one of the most surprising revelations in the field of cell death research was the discovery that cellular necrosis, a lytic and inherently messy cell death with far-reaching consequences for human physiology, can be genetically encoded. There is no single necrotic pathway either, as compelling evidence exists for distinct necrotic modalities such as pyroptosis, necroptosis and ferroptosis. The recent momentum of molecular, structural and disease-relevant findings has opened the door to targeting necrotic machinery to prevent collateral tissue damage and inflammatory diseases. In this Review, we evaluate the case for targeting the necrotic cell death pathway called necroptosis. We examine the organs and cell types where the human necroptotic machinery is expressed, identifying a lymphocytic ZBP1, RIPK1, RIPK3 and MLKL signature, review knowledge into the immunogenic consequences of necroptotic signaling and highlight building evidence that necroptosis is engaged in humans and can be triggered by ischemic injuries. Finally, we note several limitations of mouse studies due to fundamental differences with the human necroptotic apparatus and critically appraise the evidence for necroptosis being a disease-driving factor that, if successfully targeted, could be of clinical benefit.
