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

Variants of the RNA-editing enzyme ADAR1 cause Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS), in which severe inflammation occurs in the brain due to innate immune activation. Here, we analyze the RNA-editing status and innate immune activation in an AGS mouse model that carries the Adar P195A mutation in the N terminus of the ADAR1 p150 isoform, the equivalent of the P193A human Zα variant causal for disease. This mutation alone can cause interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) expression in the brain, especially in the periventricular areas, reflecting the pathologic feature of AGS. However, in these mice, ISG expression does not correlate with an overall decrease in RNA editing. Rather, the enhanced ISG expression in the brain due to the P195A mutant is dose dependent. Our findings indicate that ADAR1 can regulate innate immune responses through Z-RNA binding without changing overall RNA editing.
