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

Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a potentially life-threatening inflammatory condition. However, the defining features that distinguish it from self-resolving inflammation remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified monocyte/macrophage hyper-translation as a hallmark of CRS pathogenesis in patient samples. To uncover the molecular drivers of this phenomenon, a CRISPR screen followed by genetic validation pinpointed BCAP as a critical regulator of hyper-translation. Mechanistically, BCAP activated the RSK-EIF4B axis, fueling hyperactive translation in macrophages. Genetic ablation of RSK attenuated CRS-associated inflammation, and pharmacological inhibition of RSK alleviated CRS symptoms in a humanized mouse model. These findings establish hyper-translation as a key pathogenic feature of CRS and highlight protein translation as a druggable pathway, opening venues for therapeutic interventions of CRS and other inflammatory diseases.
