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

Gasdermin D (GSDMD) has recently been identified as a cytoplasmic effector protein that plays a central role in pyroptosis of immune cells. However, GSDMD is a universally expressed protein, and its function beyond pyroptosis, especially in cancer cells, has not been well characterized. Here, we report that predominant localization of GSDMD in the nucleoplasm in vivo indicates favorable clinical outcomes in colorectal cancer, while a lack of nuclear localization of GSDMD is associated with poor outcomes. Nuclear GSDMD, rather than cytoplasmic GSDMD, inhibits cell growth and promotes apoptosis in colorectal cancer. Hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment accounts for mild or moderate nuclear translocation of GSDMD in vivo. Under the stimulation of chemotherapy drugs, nuclear GSDMD promotes apoptosis via regulation of its subcellular distribution rather than pyroptosis-related cleavage. After nuclear translocation, GSDMD interacts with PARP-1 to dramatically inhibit its DNA damage repair-related function by functioning like the PARP inhibitor olaparib, thus forming a "hypoxia/chemotherapy-GSDMD nuclear translocation-PARP-1 blockade-DNA damage and apoptosis" axis. This study redefines the pyroptosis-independent function of GSDMD and suggests that the subcellular localization of GSDMD may serve as a molecular indicator of clinical outcomes and a promising therapeutic target in colorectal cancer.
