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

Myeloid cells play a critical role in perpetuating inflammation during various chronic diseases. Recently the death of macrophages through programmed necrosis (necroptosis) has emerged as an important mechanism in inflammation and pathology. We evaluated the mechanisms that lead to the induction of necrotic cell death in macrophages. Our results indicate that type I IFN (IFN-I) signaling is a predominant mechanism of necroptosis, because macrophages deficient in IFN-α receptor type I (IFNAR1) are highly resistant to necroptosis after stimulation with LPS, polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid, TNF-α, or IFN-β in the presence of caspase inhibitors. IFN-I-induced necroptosis occurred through both mechanisms dependent on and independent of Toll/IL-1 receptor domain-containing adaptor inducing IFN-β (TRIF) and led to persistent phosphorylation of receptor-interacting protein 3 (Rip3) kinase, which resulted in potent necroptosis. Although various IFN-regulatory factors (IRFs) facilitated the induction of necroptosis in response to IFN-β, IRF-9-STAT1- or -STAT2-deficient macrophages were highly resistant to necroptosis. Our results indicate that IFN-β-induced necroptosis of macrophages proceeds through tonic IFN-stimulated gene factor 3 (ISGF3) signaling, which leads to persistent expression of STAT1, STAT2, and IRF9. Induction of IFNAR1/Rip3-dependent necroptosis also resulted in potent inflammatory pathology in vivo. These results reveal how IFN-I mediates acute inflammation through macrophage necroptosis.
