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

TNFalpha is an important cytokine in antimicrobial immunity and inflammation. The receptor-interacting protein RIP1 is an essential component of the TNF receptor 1 signaling pathway that mediates the activation of NF-kappaB, MAPKs, and programmed cell death. It also transduces signals derived from Toll-like receptors and intracellular sensors of DNA damage and double-stranded RNA. Here, we show that the murine CMV M45 protein binds to RIP1 and inhibits TNFalpha-induced activation of NF-kappaB, p38 MAPK, and caspase-independent cell death. M45 also inhibited NF-kappaB activation upon stimulation of Toll-like receptor 3 and ubiquitination of RIP1, which is required for NF-kappaB activation. Hence, M45 functions as a viral inhibitor of RIP1-mediated signaling. The results presented here reveal a mechanism of viral immune subversion and demonstrate how a viral protein can simultaneously block proinflammatory and innate immune signaling pathways by interacting with a central mediator molecule.
