Pathogen-Induced Lysosomal Membrane Permeabilization: A Critical Interface Between Host Defense and Cell Death.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
During pathogen infection, lysosomes are not only pivotal targets exploited by pathogens to evade host defenses and induce cell death, but also an essential frontline of host protection that restricts infection by degrading invading microbes and repairing membrane damage. A broad spectrum of pathogens-including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi-can trigger lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP), resulting in the leakage of lysosomal contents into the cytosol. The released lysosomal factors can selectively activate distinct cell-death programs, including apoptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and necroptosis. These cell-death processes may limit pathogen dissemination by eliminating infected cells, yet they can also exacerbate disease through excessive inflammatory responses and tissue injury. In this review, we highlight recent advances and systematically discuss the determinants of lysosomal membrane stability, methods for detecting LMP, and LMP-driven cell-death modalities, and we summarize the mechanisms and consequences of pathogen-induced LMP.
