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

Previous studies establish guanylate binding protein 5 (GBP5) as a driver in the development of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). Here, we aim to elucidate the mechanism underlying the pro-inflammatory role of GBP5. We observe that loss of Gbp5 causes reduced colonic inflammation and decreased numbers of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in colitis mice. The transcriptional alterations observed in GBP5-deficient THP-1 cells mirrored those triggered by STAT1 activation, leading to the findings that GBP5 is essential for the stimulated expression of STAT1 and its downstream effectors, including cytokines that drive the expansion of ILCs. Remarkably, over-expression of STAT1 reverses the reduced cytokine expression caused by GBP5 deficiency. While GBP5 does not directly drive gene transcription, it binds with STAT1 and facilitates its nuclear translocation, thereby enhancing the expression of STAT1 itself and its downstream effectors. Overall, GBP5 plays a pro-inflammatory role in IBD by enhancing the activity and expression of STAT1.
