The key players of inflammasomes and pyroptosis in sepsis-induced pathogenesis and organ dysfunction.
Review in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
Pyroptosis is an inflammatory form of cell death involving caspase-1 or caspase-4/5/11, initiated by inflammasomes or cytoplasmic endotoxins as part of the immune defense. It is specifically characterized by Gasdermin-mediated pore formation leading to cell lysis, pyroptosis also entails the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. As a natural mechanism of the immune system, it activates in response to harmful stimuli to eliminate threats and facilitate tissue repair. However, excessive pyroptosis can lead to detrimental outcomes, such as infectious shock, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), and increased susceptibility to secondary infections. Sepsis, an unchecked immune response to infection, remains a leading cause of MODS and death among critically ill patients. The pathogenesis of sepsis is complex and multifaceted, involving innate inflammation that kills infected cells and releases pro-inflammatory cytokines. Recent research has increasingly explored the link between pyroptosis and sepsis, focusing on its mechanisms, roles, and potential therapeutic targets. There has been significant advancement in understanding pyroptosis, highlighting its vital role in the development of sepsis. This review delves into the molecular and pathophysiological roles of inflammasomes and pyroptosis in sepsis, with a particular emphasis on the impact on specific organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, kidney and brain, aiming to identify new diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for sepsis management.
