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

Peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGLYRPs) are implicated in the control of the intestinal microbiota; however, molecular requirements for peptidoglycan (PGN) binding and receptor signaling mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we show that PGLYRP1 is a receptor for the disaccharide motif of lysine N-acetylglucosamine N-acetylmuramic tripeptide (GMTriP-K). PGLYRP1 is required for innate immune activation by GMTriP-K but not muramyl dipeptide (MDP). In macrophages, intracellular PGLYRP1 complexes with NOD2 and GEF-H1, both of which are required for GMTriP-K-regulated gene expression. PGLYRP1 localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and interacts at the Golgi with NOD2 upon GMTriP-K stimulation. PGLYRP1 and dependent gene expression signatures are induced in both mouse intestinal inflammation and human ulcerative colitis. Importantly, PGLYRP1 activation by GMTriP-K can result in the protection of mice from TNBS-induced colitis. Mammalian PGLYRPs can function as intracellular pattern recognition receptors for the control of host defense responses in the intestine.
