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

Transcription factor IRF3 is critical for the induction of antiviral type I interferon (IFN-I). The epigenetic regulation of IFN-I production in antiviral innate immunity needs to be further identified. Here, we reported that epigenetic remodeler ARID1A, a critical component of the mSWI/SNF complex, could bind IRF3 and then was recruited to the Ifn-I promoter by IRF3, thus selectively promoting IFN-I but not TNF-α, IL-6 production in macrophages upon viral infection. Myeloid cell-specific deficiency of Arid1a rendered mice more susceptible to viral infection, accompanied with less IFN-I production. Mechanistically, ARID1A facilitates chromatin accessibility of IRF3 at the Ifn-I promoters by interacting with histone methyltransferase NSD2, which methylates H3K4 and H3K36 of the promoter regions. Our findings demonstrated the new roles of ARID1A and NSD2 in innate immunity, providing insight into the crosstalks of chromatin remodeling, histone modification, and transcription factors in the epigenetic regulation of antiviral innate immunity.
