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

In innate immune sensing, the detection of pathogen-associated molecular patterns by recognition receptors typically involve leucine-rich repeats (LRRs). We provide a categorization of 375 human LRR-containing proteins, almost half of which lack other identifiable functional domains. We clustered human LRR proteins by first assigning LRRs to LRR classes and then grouping the proteins based on these class assignments, revealing several of the resulting protein groups containing a large number of proteins with certain non-LRR functional domains. In particular, a statistically significant number of LRR proteins in the typical (T) and bacterial + typical (S+T) categories have transmembrane domains, whereas most of the LRR proteins in the cysteine-containing (CC) category contain an F-box domain (which mediates interactions with the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex). Furthermore, by examining the evolutionary profiles of the LRR proteins, we identified a subset of LRR proteins exhibiting strong conservation in fungi and an enrichment for "nucleic acid-binding" function. Expression analysis of LRR genes identifies a subset of pathogen-responsive genes in human primary macrophages infected with pathogenic bacteria. Using functional RNAi, we show that MFHAS1 regulates Toll-like receptor (TLR)-dependent signaling. By using protein interaction network analysis followed by functional RNAi, we identified LRSAM1 as a component of the antibacterial autophagic response.
