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

Three-prime Repair Exonuclease (TREX1) degrades ssDNA and dsDNA. TREX1 localizes to the perinuclear space in cells and degrades cytosolic DNA to prevent aberrant nucleic acid sensing and immune activation in humans and mice. Mutations in the TREX1 gene cause a spectrum of human autoimmune diseases including Aicardi-Goutières syndrome, familial chilblain lupus, retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukodystrophy, and are associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. More than 60 disease-causing TREX1 variants have been identified including dominant and recessive, missense, and frameshift mutations that map to the catalytic core region and to the C-terminal cell localization region. The TREX1-disease causing mutations affect exonuclease activity at varied levels. In this chapter, we describe methods to purify variant recombinant TREX1 enzymes and measure the exonuclease activity using ssDNA and dsDNA substrates. The relationships between TREX1 activities, types of TREX1 mutations, and TREX1-associated autoimmune diseases are considered.
