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

An important property of the host innate immune response during microbial infection is its ability to control the expression of antimicrobial effector proteins, but how this occurs post-transcriptionally is not well defined. Here, we describe a critical antibacterial role for the classic antiviral gene 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase 1 (OAS1). Human OAS1 and its mouse ortholog, Oas1b, are induced by interferon-γ and protect against cytosolic bacterial pathogens such as Francisella novicida and Listeria monocytogenes in vitro and in vivo. Proteomic and transcriptomic analysis showed reduced IRF1 protein expression in OAS1-deficient cells. Mechanistically, OAS1 binds and localizes IRF1 mRNA to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi endomembranes, licensing effective translation of IRF1 mRNA without affecting its transcription or decay. OAS1-dependent translation of IRF1 leads to the enhanced expression of antibacterial effectors, such as GBPs, which restrict intracellular bacteria. These findings uncover a noncanonical function of OAS1 in antibacterial innate immunity.
