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

Mosquito borne flaviviruses such as dengue and Zika represent a major public health problem due to globalization and propagation of susceptible vectors worldwide. Vertebrate host responses to dengue and Zika infections include the processing and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines through the activation of inflammasomes, resulting in disease severity and fatality. Mosquito saliva can facilitate pathogen infection by downregulating the host's immune response. However, the role of mosquito saliva in modulating host innate immune responses remains largely unknown. Here, we show that mosquito salivary gland extract (SGE) inhibits dengue and Zika virus-induced inflammasome activation by reducing NLRP3 expression, Caspase-1 activation, and 1L-1β secretion in cultured human and mice macrophages. As a result, we observe that SGE inhibits virus detection in the early phase of infection. This study provides important insights into how mosquito saliva modulates host innate immunity during viral infection.
