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 molecular mechanisms that fine-tune the Toll-like receptor (TLR)-triggered innate immune response need further investigation. As an important transcription factor, zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) play important roles in many cell functions, including development, differentiation, tumorigenesis, and functions of the immune system. However, the role of ZFP members in the innate immune responses remains unclear. Here we showed that the expression of C2H2-type ZFP, ZFP64, was significantly up-regulated in macrophages upon stimulation with TLR ligands, including LPS, CpG oligodeoxynucleotides, or poly(I:C). ZFP64 overexpression promoted TLR-triggered TNF-α, IL-6, and IFN-β production in macrophages. Coincidently, knockdown of ZFP64 expression significantly inhibited the production of the above cytokines. However, activation of MAPK and IRF3 was not responsible for the ZFP64-mediated promotion of cytokine production. Interestingly, ZFP64 significantly up-regulated TLR-induced NF-κB activation. ZFP64 could bind to the promoter of the TNF-α, IL-6, and IFN-β genes in macrophages only after TLR ligation. Furthermore, ZFP64 associated with the NF-κB p65 subunit upon LPS stimulation, and TLR-ligated macrophages showed a lower level of p65 recruitment to the TNF-α, IL-6, and IFN-β gene promoter in the absence of ZFP64. The data identify ZFP64 as a downstream positive regulator of TLR-initiated innate immune responses by associating with the NF-κB p65 subunit, enhancing p65 recruitment to the target gene promoters and increasing p65 activation and, thus, leading to the promotion of TLR-triggered proinflammatory cytokine and type I interferon production. Our findings add mechanistic insight into the efficient activation of the TLR innate response against invading pathogens.
