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

The JAK-STAT pathway is an essential signaling mechanism that initiates immune responses against pathogen infections. The intrinsic homeostatic regulation of JAK-STAT signaling is critical for maintaining immune homeostasis. Previous studies have shown that aberrant activation of the invertebrate JAK-STAT pathway leads to inflammation-like symptoms. Understanding the homeostatic mechanisms of this pathway in invertebrates is of significant interest. Pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) is one of the most extensively studied invertebrates in immune system research. In this study, we demonstrate that the shrimp microRNA-34 (miR-34) attenuates JAK-STAT pathway activation by targeting JAK, thereby inhibiting STAT phosphorylation and nuclear translocation. Interestingly, miR-34 expression is directly regulated by STAT, forming a negative feedback regulatory loop in the JAK-STAT pathway. Disrupting this loop results in excessive JAK-STAT pathway activation and immune overactivation, exacerbating inflammation caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection in shrimp. This study provides new insights into the regulatory mechanism of the JAK-STAT pathway and its roles in maintaining immune homeostasis in invertebrates.
