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 fungal pathogen Drechmeria coniospora infects C. elegans and elicits an innate immune response mediated, in part, by the induction of antimicrobial peptides in the epidermis. The signaling pathways controlling this phenomenon remain to be fully characterized. In this issue of Virulence, Couillault and colleagues use both proteomics and genetics to discover an unexpected role for the unfolded protein response (UPR) target chaperone BiP/GRP78/hsp-3 in the control of fungal infection-induced antimicrobial peptide expression in C. elegans. Although the expression of hsp-3 is regulated by the UPR, Couillault and colleagues describe a novel signaling role for this BiP/GRP78 homolog.
