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

ZBP1 is widely recognized as a mediator of cell death for its role in initiating necroptotic, apoptotic, and pyroptotic cell death pathways in response to diverse pathogenic infection. Herein, we characterize an unanticipated role for ZBP1 in promoting inflammatory responses to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). In response to both stimuli, ZBP1 promotes the timely delivery of RIPK1 to the Toll-like receptor (TLR)3/4 adaptor TRIF and M1-ubiquitination of RIPK1, which sustains activation of inflammatory signaling cascades downstream of RIPK1. Strikingly, ZBP1-mediated regulation of these pathways is important in vivo, as Zbp1−/− mice exhibited resistance to LPS-induced septic shock, revealed by prolonged survival and delayed onset of hypothermia due to decreased inflammatory responses and subsequent cell death. Further findings revealed that ZBP1 promotes sustained inflammatory responses by mediating the kinetics of proinflammatory “TRIFosome” complex formation, thus having a profound impact downstream of TLR activation. Given the well-characterized role of ZBP1 as a viral sensor, our results exemplify previously unappreciated crosstalk between the pathways that regulate host responses to bacteria and viruses, with ZBP1 acting as a crucial bridge between the two.
