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

The helicase RIG-I initiates an antiviral immune response after recognition of pathogenic RNA. TRIM25, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, mediates K63-linked ubiquitination of RIG-I, which is crucial for RIG-I downstream signaling and the antiviral innate immune response. The components and mode of the RIG-I-initiated innate signaling remain to be fully understood. Here we identify a novel long noncoding RNA (Lnczc3h7a) that binds to TRIM25 and promotes RIG-I-mediated antiviral innate immune responses. Depletion of Lnczc3h7a impairs RIG-I signaling and the antiviral innate response to RNA viruses in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, Lnczc3h7a binds to both TRIM25 and activated RIG-I, serving as a molecular scaffold for stabilization of the RIG-I-TRIM25 complex at the early stage of viral infection. Lnczc3h7a facilitates TRIM25-mediated K63-linked ubiquitination of RIG-I and thus promotes downstream signaling transduction. Our findings reveal that host RNAs can enhance the response of innate immune sensors to foreign RNAs, ensuring effective antiviral defense.
