Copper ionophore elicits calpain-dependent paraptosis coincident with proteotoxic stress.
Article in Cell communication and signaling : CCS, 2025. 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
Copper is essential to all living organisms. However, too much copper is deleterious, and cellular copper content is therefore subject to tight control. Excess copper was recently found to perturb a set of metabolic enzymes in mitochondria, leading to the aggregation of these proteins and the demise of the cell. However, our understanding of the mechanism of copper-dependent cell death remains incomplete. Here, we report that copper ionophore (elesclomol)-induced cell death is calpain-dependent, featuring dilation of the endoplasmic reticulum along with perinuclear clustering of mitochondria. Moreover, elesclomol evoked proteotoxic stress, manifested as a disruption of ubiquitin and proteasome homeostasis, coupled with a conserved heat shock response. Overall, these results have shown that elesclomol promotes calpain-dependent paraptosis with the involvement of both mitochondrial and extramitochondrial compartments of the cell.
