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

Cyclic diadenylate monophosphate (c-di-AMP) is secreted by bacteria as a secondary messenger. How immune cells detect c-di-AMP and initiate anti-bacterial immunity remains unknown. We found that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane adaptor ERAdP acts as a direct sensor for c-di-AMP. ERAdP-deficient mice were highly susceptible to Listeria monocytogenes infection and exhibited reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines. Mechanistically, c-di-AMP bound to the C-terminal domain of ERAdP, which in turn led to dimerization of ERAdP, resulting in association with and activation of the kinase TAK1. TAK1 activation consequently initiated activation of the transcription factor NF-κB to induce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in innate immune cells. Moreover, double-knockout of ERAdP and TAK1 resulted in heightened susceptibility to L. monocytogenes infection. Thus, ERAdP-mediated production of pro-inflammatory cytokines is critical for controlling bacterial infection.
