The signaling and regulatory functions of dying cells and cell corpses.
Review in Communications biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Cells die extensively each day under physiological and pathological conditions, yet dying cells and cell corpses are not merely passive endpoints. Increasing evidence shows that they actively shape their microenvironment during death-program execution, signal release or exposure, corpse processing, and responses of neighboring cells and phagocytes. We here summarize six major roles of dying cells and cell corpses: promoting tissue turnover and remodeling, supporting neighboring-cell survival, mediating intercellular communication, providing metabolic substrates and rewiring phagocyte metabolism, facilitating corpse recognition and clearance, and modulating immune responses. Overall, they provide a broader framework for understanding cell death and identifying therapeutic opportunities.
