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

Interferon (IFN)-inducible 44 like (IFI44L) is an IFN-stimulated gene (ISG), which is located on the same chromosome as the known antiviral ISG IFI44. Expression of IFI44L is induced by IFN and HIV-1 infection. However, the mechanism by which IFN-I induces IFI44L production has not yet been determined. In this study, we analyzed transcriptional regulation of IFI44L via cloning of the IFI44L promoter. We found that IFI44L has two IFN-stimulated response elements (ISRE), which are necessary for the basal level of IFI44L transcription. IFN-I and IFN-II can activate the IFI44L promoter through one of the two ISREs. IFN regulatory factor (IRF)-1 can activate transcription of IFI44L by binding to one of the ISREs. Additionally, co-transfection of the IFI44L promoter with an HIV-1 infectious clone or HIV-1 infection activated IFI44L promoter transcription, but did not upregulate IFI44L expression via ISREs. These findings will help to understand the interaction between IFI44L and HIV-1, and aid in elucidation of the role of IFI44L in the antiviral innate immune response.
