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

In addition to apoptosis, inflammatory cell death modalities-including pyroptosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis, NETosis, and the integrated paradigm of PANoptosis-are now established as critical drivers of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) pathogenesis. This review summarizes how key inflammatory cell death molecular mediators-such as the NLRP3 inflammasome, the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL axis, executioner caspases, and gasdermin-D (GSDMD)-orchestrate the death of renal cells (podocytes, tubular cells, mesangial cells, endothelium), thereby propagating inflammation and fibrosis. Preclinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of agents targeting these pathways, highlighting their therapeutic potential. Key challenges include achieving cell type-specific targeting, overcoming redundancy among cell death pathways, and improving the translational applicability of current models. Emerging solutions include the development of precise biomarkers, kidney-targeted delivery systems, and combination therapies that concurrently target multiple cell death axes. This review synthesizes evidence establishing inflammatory cell death as a cornerstone of DKD pathology and provides a conceptual framework to guide future research and therapeutic innovation.
