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

IFN regulatory factor (IRF) 3 plays a key role in innate responses against viruses. Herein we assessed its contribution to T-cell activation. We observed that poly(I:C)-induced IRF3 activation in CD8 T cells represses IL-17 expression in a type I IFN-independent fashion. Even in the absence of poly(I:C), polyclonally activated naïve IRF3(-/-) CD8 T cells expressed high levels of IL-17 and IL-23R in comparison with wild-type cells. Furthermore, IRF3(-/-) OT1 cells adoptively transferred into wild-type hosts also produced higher IL-17 levels upon immunization than their wild-type counterparts. This phenotype could be reversed by ectopic expression of IRF3, confirming that this effect is intrinsic to T cells. We show that IRF3 directly interacts with RORγt in the cytoplasm through its IRF interaction domain and limits its ability to bind and transactivate the IL-17 promoter. These observations uncover an unexpected role of IRF3 in the control of CD8 T-cell polarization.
