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

The induction of β-interferon (IFN-β) is a key anti-viral response to infection by RNA viruses. Virus-induced expression of IFN-β requires the co-operative action of the transcription factors IRF-3/7, NF-κB, and ATF-2/c-Jun on the IFN-β promoter leading to the orderly recruitment of chromatin remodeling complexes. Although viruses strongly activate NF-κB and promote its binding to the IFN-β promoter, recent studies have indicated that NF-κB is not essential for virus-induced expression of IFN-β. Herein, we examined the role of NF-κB in regulating IFN-β expression in response to the viral-sensing Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3). Intriguingly pharmacological inhibition of the NF-κB pathway augments late phase expression of IFN-β expression in response to TLR3 stimulation. We show that the negative effect of NF-κB on IFN-β expression is dependent on the induction of the transcriptional repressor protein YinYang1. We demonstrate that the TLR3 ligand polyriboinosinic:polyribocytidylic acid (poly(I:C)) induces expression and nuclear translocation of YinYang1 where it interacts with the IFN-β promoter and inhibits the binding of IRF7 to the latter. Evidence is also presented showing that the NF-κB subunits c-Rel and RelB are the likely key drivers of these negative effects on IFN-β expression. These findings thus highlight for the first time a novel self-regulatory mechanism that is employed by TLR3 to limit the level and duration of IFN-β expression.
