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

Innate immunity senses microbial ligands known as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Except for nucleic acids, PAMPs are exceedingly taxa-specific, thus enabling pattern recognition receptors to detect cognate pathogens while ignoring others. How the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF213 can respond to phylogenetically distant pathogens, including Gram-negative Salmonella, Gram-positive Listeria, and eukaryotic Toxoplasma, remains unknown. Here we report that the evolutionary history of RNF213 is indicative of repeated adaptation to diverse pathogen target structures, especially in and around its newly identified CBM20 carbohydrate-binding domain, which we have resolved by cryo-EM. We find that RNF213 forms coats on phylogenetically distant pathogens. ATP hydrolysis by RNF213's dynein-like domain is essential for coat formation on all three pathogens studied as is RZ finger-mediated E3 ligase activity for bacteria. Coat formation is not diffusion-limited but instead relies on rate-limiting initiation events and subsequent cooperative incorporation of further RNF213 molecules. We conclude that RNF213 responds to evolutionarily distant pathogens through enzymatically amplified cooperative recruitment.
