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

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major cause of enterically transmitted acute hepatitis worldwide. However, the mechanism of HEV replication is unclear. Type I interferon is the first defense line of host against viral infection. Signal regulator protein α (SIRP-α) plays an important role in negative regulation of innate immunity. In the present study, HEV infection significantly activated the expression of SIRP-α and down-regulated phosphorylation of IRF3, consequently resulted in suppression of type I interferon (IFN-β). In conclusion, HEV exploited SIRP-α to negative regulated IFN-β of the host innate immune system to promote viral infection. It suggested that interfering with the functions of SIRP-α should be considered as a potential therapeutic approach to the prevention and treatment of HEV infection.
