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

Rabies virus (RABV) is a neurotropic virus transmitted by the bite of an infected animal that triggers a fatal encephalomyelitis. During its migration in the nervous system (NS), RABV triggers an innate immune response, including a type I IFN response well known to limit viral infections. We showed that although the neuroinvasive RABV strain CVS-NIV dampens type I IFN signaling by inhibiting IRF3 phosphorylation and STAT2 translocation, an early and transient type I IFN response is still triggered in the infected neuronal cells and NS. This urged us to investigate the role of type I IFN on RABV infection. We showed that primary mouse neurons (DRGs) of type I IFN(α/β) receptor deficient mice (IFNAR(-/-) mice) were more susceptible to RABV than DRGs of WT mice. In addition, exogenous type I IFN is partially efficient in preventing and slowing down infection in human neuroblastoma cells. Intra-muscular inoculation of type I IFNAR deficient mice [IFNAR(-/-) mice and NesCre ((+/-)) IFNAR ((flox/flox)) mice lacking IFNAR in neural cells of neuroectodermal origin only] with RABV reveals that the type I IFN response limits RABV dissemination in the inoculated muscle, slows down invasion of the spinal cord, and delays mortality. Thus, the type I IFN which is still produced in the NS during RABV infection is efficient enough to reduce neuroinvasiveness and pathogenicity and partially protect the host from fatal infection.
