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

In response to virus infections, a cell-autonomous, transcription-based antiviral program is engaged to create resistance, impair pathogen replication, and alert professional cells in innate and adaptive immunity. This dual phase antiviral program consists of type I interferon (IFN) production followed by the response to IFN signaling. Pathogen recognition leads to activation of IRF and NFκB factors that function independently and together to recruit cellular coactivators that remodel chromatin, modify histones and activate RNA polymerase II (Pol II) at target gene loci, including the well-characterized IFNβ enhanceosome. In the subsequent response to IFN, a receptor-mediated JAK-STAT signaling cascade directs the assembly of the IRF9-STAT1-STAT2 transcription factor complex called ISGF3, which recruits its own cohort of remodelers, coactivators, and Pol II machinery to activate transcription of a wide range of IFN-stimulated genes. Regulation of the IFN and antiviral gene regulatory networks is not only important for driving innate immune responses to infections, but also may inform treatment of a growing list of chronic diseases that are characterized by hyperactive and constitutive IFN and IFN-stimulated gene (ISG) expression. Here, gene-specific and genome-wide investigations of the chromatin landscape at IFN and ISGs is discussed in parallel with IRF- and STAT- dependent regulation of Pol II transcription.
