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

Infection triggers one of the most dramatic systemic responses in the body, and the coordinated activation and function of immune cells requires a dynamic regulation of transcriptomes and proteomes. This is achieved by RNA-binding proteins, which, together with RNA, form ribonucleoproteins. These proteins expand the information content of the genome and determine the lifespan, localization and function of RNA. Moreover, they control when, where and how much protein is produced. They can also mediate cell-autonomous immunity to foreign RNA and to misfolded self-RNAs and ensure the fidelity of the transcriptome by acting as RNA modifiers and chaperones to prevent RNA misfolding. These activities are integrated with gene expression programmes that are induced by the pathogen-sensing mechanisms of immune cells, which together activate, and later resolve, immune responses. Here, we review the activities of RNA-binding proteins in immune cells and discuss how perturbations of their function can result in immunodeficiency, autoimmunity and chronic inflammation.
