JAK Signaling Is Critically Important in Cytokine-Induced Viral Susceptibility of Keratinocytes.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Little is known about whether type 1 (IFNγ), 2 (IL-4/IL-13), or 3 (IL-17A/IL-22) cytokines affect the susceptibility of keratinocytes (KC) to viruses. These immune pathways predominate in various skin diseases: lupus, atopic dermatitis (AD), and psoriasis, respectively. Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) are approved to treat both AD and psoriasis, and are in clinical development for lupus. We evaluated whether these cytokines alter viral susceptibility of KC and determined if this effect is modulated by treatment with JAKi. Viral susceptibility to vaccinia virus (VV) or herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) ± JAKi was assessed in immortalized and primary human KC pretreated with cytokines. Exposure to type 2 (IL-4 + IL-13) or the type 3 (IL-22) cytokines significantly increased KC viral susceptibility. Specifically, there was a peak increase of 12.2 ± 3.1-fold (IL-4 + IL-13) or 7.7 ± 2.8-fold (IL-22) in VV infection as measured by plaque number. Conversely, IFNγ significantly reduced susceptibility to VV (63.1 ± 64.4-fold). The IL-4 + IL-13-induced viral susceptibility was reduced (44 ± 16%) by JAK1 inhibition, while the IL-22-enhanced viral susceptibility was diminished (76 ± 19%) by TYK2 inhibition. IFNγ-mediated resistance to viral infection was reversed by JAK2 inhibition (366 ± 294% increase in infection). Cytokines expressed in AD skin (IL-4, IL-13, IL-22) increase KC viral susceptibility while IFNγ is protective. JAKi that target JAK1 or TYK2 reversed cytokine-enhanced viral susceptibility, while JAK2 inhibition reduced the protective effects of IFNγ.
