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 role of RNA-binding proteins of the CCCH-containing family in regulating proinflammatory cytokine production and inflammation is increasingly recognized. We have identified ZC3H12C (Regnase-3) as a potential post-transcriptional regulator of tumor necrosis factor expression and have investigated its role in vivo by generating Zc3h12c-deficient mice that express green fluorescent protein instead of ZC3H12C. Zc3h12c-deficient mice develop hypertrophic lymph nodes. In the immune system, ZC3H12C expression is mostly restricted to the dendritic cell (DC) populations, and we show that DC-restricted ZC3H12C depletion is sufficient to cause lymphadenopathy. ZC3H12C can regulate Tnf messenger RNA stability via its RNase activity in vitro, and we confirmed the role of Tnf in the development of lymphadenopathy. Finally, we found that loss of ZC3H12C did not impact the outcome of skin inflammation in the imiquimod-induced murine model of psoriasis, despite Zc3h12c being identified as a risk factor for psoriasis susceptibility in several genome-wide association studies. Our data suggest a role for ZC3H12C in DC-driven skin homeostasis.
