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

Long, non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the regulation of many cellular processes. The lncRNA IFNG-AS1 was found to strongly influence the responses to several pathogens in mice by increasing interferon gamma (IFNγ) secretion. Studies have looked at IFNG-AS1 in T cells, yet IFNG-AS1 function in natural killer cells (NKs), an important source of IFNγ, remains unknown. Here, we show a previously undescribed sequence of IFNG-AS1 and report that it may be more abundant in cells than previously thought. Using primary human NKs and an NK line with IFNG-AS1 overexpression, we show that IFNG-AS1 is quickly induced upon NK cell activation, and that IFNG-AS1 overexpression leads to increased IFNγ secretion. Taken together, our work expands IFNG-AS1's activity to the innate arm of the type I immune response, helping to explain its notable effect in animal models of disease.
