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

The eukaryotic Glucose Induced Degradation/C-Terminal to LisH (GID/CTLH) complex is a highly conserved E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in a broad range of biological processes. However, a role of this complex in host anti-microbial defenses has not been described. We exploited Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) induced cytotoxicity in macrophages in a FACS based CRISPR genetic screen to identify host determinants of intracellular Mtb growth restriction. Our screen identified 5 (GID8, YPEL5, WDR26, UBE2H, MAEA) of the 12 predicted members of the GID/CTLH complex as determinants of intracellular growth of both Mtb and Salmonella serovar Typhimurium. We show that the anti-microbial properties of the GID/CTLH complex knockout macrophages are mediated by enhanced GABAergic signaling, activated AMPK, increased autophagic flux and resistance to Mtb induced necrotic cell death. Meanwhile, Mtb isolated from GID/CTLH knockout macrophages are nutritionally starved and oxidatively stressed. Our study identifies the GID/CTLH complex activity as broadly suppressive of host anti-microbial responses against intracellular bacterial infections.
