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

Invading pathogens elicit potent immune responses in cells through interactions between structurally conserved molecules derived from the pathogens and specialized innate immune receptors such as the Toll-like receptors (TLRs). Nucleic acid is one of the principal TLR ligands. Nucleic acid-sensing TLRs recognize an array of nucleic acids, including double-stranded RNA, single-stranded RNA, and DNAs with specific sequence motifs. Although ligand-induced dimerization is commonly observed followed by TLR activation, both the specific recognition mechanisms and the ligand-receptor interactions vary among different TLRs. In this review, we highlight our current understanding of how these receptors recognize their cognate ligands based on the recent advances in structural biology.
