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

Endogenous, long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) can resemble viral dsRNA and be recognized by cytosolic dsRNA sensors, triggering autoimmunity. Genetic studies of rare, inherited human diseases and experiments using mouse models have established the importance of adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing by the enzyme adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 1 (ADAR1) as a critical safeguard against autoinflammatory responses to cellular dsRNA. More recently, human genetic studies have revealed that dsRNA editing and sensing mechanisms are involved in common inflammatory diseases, emphasizing the broader role of dsRNA in modulating immune responses and disease pathogenesis. These findings have highlighted the therapeutic potential of targeting dsRNA editing and sensing, as exemplified by the emergence of ADAR1 inhibition in cancer therapy.
