Role of Interferon Regulatory Factor 1 in acute and chronic virus infections.
Review in Virology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Decades of research have defined the function of interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) in the antiviral immune response. Interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) is the founding member of the IRF family, with recognized antiviral effects across diverse virus infections. While most antiviral activities of IRF-1 were defined in vitro, fewer studies examined the role of IRF-1 during viral infection of an intact host. Taking advantage of mouse models of global or cell type-specific IRF-1 deficiency, recent studies demonstrate intriguing virus- and cell type-specific functions of IRF-1 during in vivo infection, underlining the complexity of this ancient transcription factor. Here, we review the role of IRF-1 during acute and chronic viral infections of an intact host, with particular focus on relating observations found in mouse models to those observed in a recent study of pediatric patients with IRF-1 insufficiency. By appreciating the complexity of IRF-1 in the immune response, we highlight several virus- and cell type-specific functions of IRF-1 in contributing to host antiviral immunity.
