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

Ninjurin1 (NINJ1) is initially identified as a nerve injury-induced adhesion molecule that facilitates axon growth. It is initially characterized to promote nerve regeneration and mediate the transendothelial transport of monocytes/macrophages associated with neuroinflammation. Recent evidence indicates that NINJ1 mediates plasma membrane rupture (PMR) in lytic cell death. The absence or inhibition of NINJ1 can delay PMR, thereby mitigating the spread of inflammation resulting from cell lysis and preventing the progression of various cell death-related pathologies, suggesting a conserved regulatory mechanism across these processes. Further research elucidated the structural basis and mechanism of NINJ1-mediated PMR. Although the role of NINJ1 in PMR is established, the identity of its activating factors and its implications in diseases remain to be fully explored. This review synthesizes current knowledge regarding the structural basis and mechanism of NINJ1-mediated PMR and discusses its significance and therapeutic targeting potential in inflammatory diseases, neurological disorders, cancer, and vascular injuries.
