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

Vertebrate cells have evolved an elaborate multi-tiered intracellular surveillance system linked to downstream antimicrobial effectors to defend themselves from pathogens. This cellular self-defense system is referred to as cell-autonomous immunity. A wide array of cell-autonomous mechanisms operates to control intracellular pathogens including protozoa such as Toxoplasma gondii. Cell-autonomous immunity consists of antimicrobial defenses that are constitutively active in cells and those that are inducible typically in response to host cell activation. The IFN family of cytokines is an important stimulator of inducible cell-autonomous immunity. There are several hundred interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs); many of them have known roles in inducible cell-autonomous immune mechanisms. The importance of IFN-γ activation of cell-autonomous immunity is evidenced by the fact that many intracellular pathogens have evolved a diversity of molecular mechanisms to inhibit activation of infected cells through the JAK-STAT pathway in response to IFN-γ. The goal of this review is to provide a broad framework for understanding the elaborate system of cell-autonomous immunity that acts as a first line of defense between a host and intracellular parasites.
