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

Elimination of infected cells by programmed cell death is a well-recognized host defense mechanism to control the spread of infection. In addition to apoptosis, necroptosis is also one of the mechanisms of cell death that can be activated by viral infection. Activation of necroptosis leads to the phosphorylation of mixed-lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) by receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) and results in MLKL oligomerization and membrane translocation, leading to membrane disruption and a loss of cellular ion homeostasis. It has recently been reported that influenza A virus (IAV) infection induces necroptosis. However, the underlying mechanism of the IAV-mediated necroptosis process, particularly the roles of IAV proteins in necroptosis, remains unexplored. Here, we report that IAV infection induces necroptosis in macrophages and epithelial cells. We demonstrate that the NS1 protein of IAV interacts with MLKL. Coiled-coil domain 2 of MLKL has a predominant role in mediating the MLKL interaction with NS1. The interaction of NS1 with MLKL increases MLKL oligomerization and membrane translocation. Moreover, the MLKL-NS1 interaction enhances MLKL-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation, leading to increased interleukin-1β (IL-1β) processing and secretion.
