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 exocyst complex is a heterooctameric protein complex, the individual components of the complex are thought to act on specific biological processes. However, the role of Sec10, the central subunit of the complex, in host defense and viral replication remains unclear. Here, we reported that Sec10 significantly impairs the activation of JAK-STAT signal pathway of type I IFN (IFN-I) response against both DNA- and RNA-viruses, and promotes viral replication, respectively. Mechanistically, Sec10 interacts with E3 ligase STUB1, promotes the interaction of STUB1 and STAT1, and consequently accelerate STUB1-mediated proteasomal degradation of STAT1 via K6-linked polyubiquitination at Lys240 and Lys652, thus weakens STAT1 triggered antiviral immune responses. More importantly, myeloid-specific deletion of Sec10 in mice showed enhanced IFN-I response against viral infection and improved survival of mice. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that Sec10 attenuates the JAK-STAT signaling pathway by targeting STAT1 for proteasomal degradation and identifies a previously unknown function of Sec10 in antiviral innate immunity and viral replication.
