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

Gamma-interferon-inducible lysosomal thiol reductase (GILT) is the only enzyme known to catalyze disulfide bond reduction in the endocytic pathway. GILT facilitates the presentation of a subset of epitopes from disulfide bond-containing antigens. Enhanced presentation of MHC class II-restricted epitopes alters central tolerance and modulates CD4+ T cell-mediated autoimmunity. Improved cross-presentation of viral epitopes results in improved cross-priming of viral-specific CD8+ T cells. GILT regulates the cellular redox state. In GILT-/- cells, there is a shift from the reduced to the oxidized form of glutathione, resulting in mitochondrial autophagy, decreased superoxide dismutase 2, and elevated superoxide levels. GILT expression diminishes cellular activation, including decreased phosphorylated ERK1/2, and decreases cellular proliferation. GILT enhances the activity of bacterial hemolysins, such as listeriolysin O, and increases bacterial replication and infection. GILT expression in cancer cells is associated with improved patient survival. These diverse roles of GILT are discussed.
