Regulated Cell Death in Fungi, the Role of Metacaspases and Assay Techniques.
Review in Methods and protocols, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Caspases orchestrate metazoan apoptosis, regulating processes such as embryogenesis, the death of old and infected cells and immune tolerance. Structural orthologs of caspases have been identified in bacteria, plants, protists and fungi and regulated cell death has been demonstrated in these organisms. This led some researchers to conclude that fungal metacaspases might perform a similar function to caspases. This review discusses regulated cell death, beginning with an account of RCD and the central role of caspases in mammalian RCD. It goes on to give examples of RCD in fungi, compares the structure and activity of caspase orthologs and outlines examples of metacaspase-dependent and metacaspase-independent cell death in fungi, focusing on
