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

Dendritic cells (DCs) increase their metabolic dependence on glucose and glycolysis to support their maturation, activation-associated cytokine production, and T-cell stimulatory capacity. We have previously shown that this increase in glucose metabolism can be initiated by both Toll-like receptor (TLR) and C-type lectin receptor (CLR) agonists. In addition, we have shown that the TLR-dependent demand for glucose is partially satisfied by intracellular glycogen stores. However, the role of glycogen metabolism in supporting CLR-dependent DC glycolytic demand has not been formally demonstrated. In this work, we have shown that DCs activated with fungal-associated β-glucan ligands exhibit acute glycolysis induction that is dependent on glycogen metabolism. Furthermore, glycogen metabolism supports DC maturation, inflammatory cytokine production, and priming of the nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich-containing family, pyrin domain-containing-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in response to both TLR- and CLR-mediated activation. These data support a model in which different classes of innate immune receptors functionally converge in their requirement for glycogen-dependent glycolysis to metabolically support early DC activation. These studies provide new insight into how DC immune effector function is metabolically regulated in response to diverse inflammatory stimuli.
