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

Signaling by Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is mediated by either of two adaptor proteins: myeloid differentiation marker 88 (MyD88) or Toll-interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor (TIR) domain-containing adaptor inducing interferon-β (TRIF). Whereas MyD88-mediated signaling leads to proinflammatory responses, TRIF-mediated signaling leads to less toxic immunostimulatory responses that are beneficial in boosting vaccine responses. The hypothesis that monophosphorylated lipid A structures act as TRIF-biased agonists of TLR4 offered a potential mechanism to explain their clinical value as vaccine adjuvants, but studies of TRIF-biased agonists have been contradictory. In experiments with mouse dendritic cells, we found that irrespective of the agonist used, TLR4 functioned as a TRIF-biased signaling system through a mechanism that depended on the autocrine and paracrine effects of type I interferons. The TLR4 agonist synthetic lipid A induced expression of TRIF-dependent genes at lower concentrations than were necessary to induce the expression of genes that depend on MyD88-mediated signaling. Blockade of type I interferon signaling selectively decreased the potency of lipid A (increased the concentration required) in inducing the expression of TRIF-dependent genes, thereby eliminating adaptor bias. These data may explain how high-potency TLR4 agonists can act as clinically useful vaccine adjuvants by selectively activating TRIF-dependent signaling events required for immunostimulation, without or only weakly activating potentially harmful MyD88-dependent inflammatory responses.
