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

Interferons regulate immunity by inducing DNA binding of the transcription factor STAT1 through Y701 phosphorylation. Transcription by STAT1 needs to be restricted to minimize the adverse effects of prolonged immune responses. It remains unclear how STAT1 inactivation is regulated such that the transcription output is adequate. Here we show that efficient STAT1 inactivation in macrophages is coupled with processive transcription. Ongoing transcription feeds back to reduce the promoter occupancy of STAT1 and, consequently, the transcriptional output. Once released from the promoter, STAT1 is ultimately inactivated by Y701 dephosphorylation. We observe similar regulation for STAT2 and STAT3, suggesting a conserved inactivation mechanism among STATs. These findings reveal that STAT1 promoter occupancy in macrophages is regulated such that it decreases only after initiation of the transcription cycle. This feedback control ensures the fidelity of cytokine responses and provides options for pharmacological intervention.
