Endogenous Retrovirus-Derived Long Noncoding RNA Enhances Innate Immune Responses via Derepressing RELA Expression.
Article in mBio, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 39 papers.
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.
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
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are transposable elements that cause host genome instability and usually play deleterious roles in disease such as tumorigenesis. Recent advances also suggest that this "enemy within" may encode a viral mimic to induce antiviral immune responses through viral sensors. Here, through whole-genome transcriptome analysis with RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), we discovered that a full-length ERV-derived long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), designated lnc-EPAV (ERV-derived lncRNA positively regulates antiviral responses), was a positive regulator of NF-κB signaling. lnc-EPAV expression was rapidly upregulated by viral RNA mimics or RNA viruses to facilitate the expression of RELA, an NF-κB subunit that plays a crucial role in antiviral responses. Transcriptome analysis of lnc-EPAV-silenced macrophages showed that lnc-EPAV was critical for RELA target gene expression and innate immune responses. Consistently, lnc-EPAV-deficient mice exhibited reduced expression of type I interferons (IFNs) and, consequently, increased viral loads and mortality following lethal RNA virus infection. Mechanistically, lnc-EPAV promoted expression of RELA by competitively binding to and displacing SFPQ, a transcriptional repressor of
