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

Protein ubiquitination plays an important role in the regulation of TGF-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1)-mediated NF-κB activation. It is well established that TAK1 activation is tightly regulated with its binding partners, TAK1-binding proteins (TAB1-3). However, the tight regulation of TAK1 activation remains elusive. Here, using Trim26-knockout mice and Trim26-transgenic mice, we found that TRIM26 acts as a positive regulator of TAK1 activation by ubiquitinating its binding partner TAB1. Knockout of Trim26 inhibited TAK1 activation and downstream kinases activation, thus decreasing the induction of proinflammatory cytokines following LPS, TNF-α, and IL-1β stimulation. Mechanistically, TRIM26 catalyzes the K11-linked polyubiquitination of TAB1 at Lys294, Lys319, and Lys335 to enhance the activation of TAK1 and subsequent NF-κB and MAPK signaling. Consequently, Trim26 deficiency protects mice from LPS-induced septic shock in vivo. Moreover, Trim26 deficiency attenuates the severity of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis. Thus, these finding provides a novel insight into how TAK1 activation is regulated through TRIM26-mediated ubiquitination of TAB1 and reveals the new function of TRIM26 in the regulation of the inflammatory innate immune response.
