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

Detection of microbial DNA is a primary means of host defense. In mammalian cells, DNA-sensing pathways induce robust anti-microbial responses and initiation of adaptive immunity, leading to the eventual clearance of the infectious agent. However, while conferring the advantage of broad detection capability, the sequence-independent recognition mechanisms of most DNA sensors pose a significant challenge for mammalian cells to maintain ignorance to self-DNA under homeostatic conditions. In this Review, we summarize the fundamentals of DNA-sensing pathways and the intricate regulatory networks that keep these pathways in check. In addition, we describe how regulatory restraints can be defective and underlie human autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Further, we discuss therapies in development that limit inflammation fueled by self-DNA or inappropriate activation of DNA-sensing pathways.
