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

We describe a novel function for the interferon (IFN)-induced protein 44-like (IFI44L) gene in negatively modulating innate immune responses induced after virus infections. Furthermore, we show that decreasing IFI44L expression impairs virus production and that IFI44L expression negatively modulates the antiviral state induced by an analog of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) or by IFN treatment. The mechanism likely involves the interaction of IFI44L with cellular FK506-binding protein 5 (FKBP5), which in turn interacts with kinases essential for type I and III IFN responses, such as inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B (IκB) kinase alpha (IKKα), IKKβ, and IKKε. Consequently, binding of IFI44L to FKBP5 decreased interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF-3)-mediated and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) inhibitor (IκBα)-mediated phosphorylation by IKKε and IKKβ, respectively. According to these results, IFI44L is a good target for treatment of diseases associated with excessive IFN levels and/or proinflammatory responses and for reduction of viral replication.
