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

Type I interferon (IFN-I) exhibits broad-spectrum antiviral properties and is commonly employed in clinical for the treatment of viral infections. In this study, we unveil SENP6 as a potent regulator of IFN-I antiviral activity. SENP6 does not impact the production of IFN-I induced by viruses but rather modulates IFN-I-activated signaling. Mechanistically, SENP6 constitutively interacts with USP8 and inhibits the SUMOylation of USP8, consequently restricting the interaction between USP8 and IFNAR2. The dissociation of USP8 from IFNAR2 enhances IFNAR2 ubiquitination and degradation, thus attenuating IFN-I antiviral activity. Correspondingly, the downregulation of SENP6 promotes the interaction between USP8 and IFNAR2, leading to a reduction in IFNAR2 ubiquitination and, consequently, an enhancement in IFN-I-induced signaling. This study deciphers a critical deSUMOylation-deubiquitination crosstalk that finely regulates the IFN-I response to viral infection.
