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

Type I interferons (IFNs) play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) stimulated by Toll-like receptor (TLR) pathways have been thought to be the major producers of IFNα in patients with SLE. However, the responsiveness of pDCs from SLE patients to stimuli that produce IFNα differs depending on the type of TLR pathway involved. In addition to pDCs, monocytes from SLE patients were found to produce IFNα when responding to the cGAS-STING pathway. Here, we outline the major pathways that induce IFNα production by myeloid cells in SLE, and the possible mechanisms by which IFNα overproduction occurs by these cells. Finally, we discuss the current and future therapeutic strategies to regulate IFNα production in patients with SLE.
