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

The Rv2626c protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a promising vaccine candidate owing to its strong serum antibody response in patients with tuberculosis. However, there is limited information regarding the intracellular response induced by Rv2626c in macrophages. In this study, we demonstrated that Rv2626c interacts with the RING domain of TRAF6 and inhibits lysine (K) 63-linked polyubiquitination of TRAF6 (E3 ubiquitin ligase activity); this results in the suppression of TLR4 inflammatory signaling in macrophages. Furthermore, we showed that the C-terminal 123-131-amino acid Rv2626c motif promotes macrophage recruitment, phagocytosis, M2 macrophage polarization, and subsequent bacterial clearance. We developed rRv2626c-CA, a conjugated peptide containing the C-terminal 123-131-amino acid Rv2626c that targets macrophages, penetrates the cell membrane, and has demonstrated significant therapeutic effects in a mouse model of cecal ligation and puncture-induced sepsis. This multifunctional rRv2626c-CA has considerably improved potency, with an IC
