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

To defend cells against viruses, the MAVS (mitochondrial antiviral signaling) adaptor protein initiates an antiviral signaling cascade from mitochondrial membranes. In this issue, Dixit et al. (2010) show that MAVS also localizes to the membranes of peroxisomes, where it rapidly induces expression of a subset of antiviral genes that curb viral replication until mitochondrial MAVS can induce a sustained antiviral response.
