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

Mitochondrial antiviral signaling (MAVS) was first discovered as an activator of NF-κB and IRF3 in response to viral infection in 2005. As a key innate immune adapter that acts as an 'on/off' switch in immune signaling against most RNA viruses. Upon interaction with RIG-I, MAVS aggregates to activate downstream signaling pathway. The MAVS gene, located on chromosome 20p13, encodes a 540-amino acid protein that located in the outer membrane of mitochondria. MAVS protein was ubiquitously expressed with higher levels in heart, skeletal muscle, liver, placenta and peripheral blood leukocytes. Recent studies have reported MAVS to be associated with various conditions including cancers, systemic lupus erythematosus, kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease. This article provides a comprehensive summary and description of MAVS research in cardiac disease, encompassing structure, expression, protein-protein interactions, modifications, as well as the role of MAVS in heart disease. It is aimed to establish a scientific foundation for the identification of potential therapeutic target.
