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

Phagocytosis and oxidative burst are two major effector arms of innate immunity. Although it is known that both are activated by Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and Rac GTPases, how their strengths are controlled in quiescent and TLR-activated cells is not clear. We report here that TIPE2 (TNFAIP8L2) serves as a negative regulator of innate immunity by linking TLRs to Rac. TLRs control the expression levels of TIPE2, which in turn dictates the strengths of phagocytosis and oxidative burst by binding to and blocking Rac GTPases. Consequently, TIPE2 knockout cells have enhanced phagocytic and bactericidal activities and TIPE2 knockout mice are resistant to bacterial infection. Thus, TIPE2 sets the strengths of phagocytosis and oxidative burst and may be targeted to effectively control infections.
