Expression of Interferons Lambda 3 and 4 Induces Identical Response in Human Liver Cell Lines Depending Exclusively on Canonical Signaling.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Lambda interferons mediate antiviral immunity by inducing interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) in epithelial tissues. A common variant rs368234815TT/∆G creating functional gene from an IFNL4 pseudogene is associated with the expression of major ISGs in the liver but impaired clearance of hepatitis C. To explain this, we compared Halo-tagged and non-tagged IFNL3 and IFNL4 signaling in liver-derived cell lines. Transfection with non-tagged IFNL3, non-tagged IFNL4 and Halo-tagged IFNL4 led to a similar degree of JAK-STAT activation and ISG induction; however, the response to transfection with Halo-tagged IFNL3 was lower and delayed. Transfection with non-tagged IFNL3 or IFNL4 induced no transcriptome change in the cells lacking either IL10R2 or IFNLR1 receptor subunits. Cytosolic overexpression of signal peptide-lacking IFNL3 or IFNL4 in wild type cells did not interfere with JAK-STAT signaling triggered by interferons in the medium. Finally, expression profile changes induced by transfection with non-tagged IFNL3 and IFNL4 were highly similar. These data do not support the hypothesis about IFNL4-specific non-canonical signaling and point out that functional studies conducted with tagged interferons should be interpreted with caution.
