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

Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) dissociates from its inhibitor, Keap1, upon stress signals and subsequently induces an antioxidant response that critically controls the viral life cycle and pathogenesis. Besides intracellular Fc receptor function, tripartite motif 21 (TRIM21) E3 ligase plays an essential role in the p62-Keap1-Nrf2 axis pathway for redox homeostasis. Specifically, TRIM21-mediated p62 ubiquitination abrogates p62 oligomerization and sequestration activity and negatively regulates the Keap1-Nrf2-mediated antioxidant response. A number of viruses target the Nrf2-mediated antioxidant response to generate an optimal environment for their life cycle. Here we report that a nonstructural protein (NSs) of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) interacts with and inhibits TRIM21 to activate the Nrf2 antioxidant signal pathway. Mass spectrometry identified TRIM21 to be a binding protein for NSs. NSs bound to the carboxyl-terminal SPRY subdomain of TRIM21, enhancing p62 stability and oligomerization. This facilitated p62-mediated Keap1 sequestration and ultimately increased Nrf2-mediated transcriptional activation of antioxidant genes, including those for heme oxygenase 1, NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1, and CD36. Mutational analysis found that the NSs-A46 mutant, which no longer interacted with TRIM21, was unable to increase Nrf2-mediated transcriptional activation. Functionally, the NS wild type (WT), but not the NSs-A46 mutant, increased the surface expression of the CD36 scavenger receptor, resulting in an increase in phagocytosis and lipid uptake.
