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

RIPK1 regulates cell death and inflammation and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. RIPK1 autophosphorylation promotes cell death induction; however, the underlying mechanisms and the role of specific autophosphorylation sites remain elusive. Using knock-in mouse models, here we show that S161 autophosphorylation has a critical physiological function in RIPK1-mediated cell death and inflammation. S161N substitution partially suppressed RIPK1-mediated catalytic activity and cell death induction but was sufficient to prevent skin inflammation induced by keratinocyte necroptosis or apoptosis in relevant mouse models. Combined S161N and S166A mutations synergized to prevent RIPK1-mediated cell death more efficiently than the single site mutations, revealing functional redundancy. Moreover, phosphomimetic S161E mutation could overcome the necroptosis-inhibitory effect of S166A mutation, revealing that S161 phosphorylation is sufficient for necroptosis induction. Collectively, a functional interplay of S161 and S166 phosphorylation events regulates RIPK1-dependent cell death and inflammation.
