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 human DEAD-box protein 3 (DDX3) has been reported as a positive regulator and functions in the induction of type I interferon signaling. We elucidated the function of DDX3 in the positive regulation of IFNB production in non-pDC cells. We found that DDX3 regulates virus-induced activation of IFNB at the level of IRF-3. However, it does not affect conventional innate signaling, including IRF-3 phosphorylation, dimerization, or nuclear translocation of IRF-3, but has some downstream events after IRF-3 phosphorylation. Co-immunoprecipitation analyses revealed that DDX3 interacts with IRF-3 through its DNA-binding domain and promotes IRF-3-mediated IFNB promoter activation. DDX3 does not affect the formation of the IRF-3/p300/CBP complex. Instead, ChIP and EMSA assay revealed that DDX3 promotes the recruitment of IRF-3 and transcriptional co-activator p300/CBP to the IFNB promoter. The ATP binding pocket of DDX3 is involved in this association and is essential for the transcriptional activation. Taken together, our study demonstrates that DDX3 plays an important role in guiding a transcription factor complex formed by antiviral signaling to the target gene promoter.
