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

S-palmitoylation is a dynamic, reversible lipid modification that plays a crucial role in the regulation of various types of cell death. However, systematic insights into how S-palmitoylation modifications integrate and mediate crosstalk among diverse cell death pathways, including apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and cuproptosis, to ultimately determine cell fate remain elusive. We propose the concept of the “palmitoylation code,” which posits that S-palmitoylation affects substrate function and signaling pathways through site specificity, kinetic dynamics, and spatial distribution, ultimately regulating the cell’s decision between survival and death. This review describes the regulatory principles of this code in major cell death pathways and provides a comprehensive overview of palmitoylation-targeting strategies and pharmacological inhibitors through an examination of how targeting the “palmitoylation code” can modulate cell fate transitions.
