The active secretion of a subunit of IL-12 by tissue cells is regulated by Valosin-Containing Protein and intracellular calcium redistribution.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
One molecular mechanism for collaboration between innate immune and tissue stromal cells in regulating effector responses is the formation of the innate cytokine IL-12 as a result of the two cell types contributing distinct subunits (p40 and p35) allowing for the localized assembly of the functional IL-12 heterodimer. Dendritic cell activation leads to p40 secretion, but the pathways in stromal cells allowing p35 secretion are unknown. We identify the inhibition of Valosin-Containing Protein (VCP) and increases in intracellular calcium signaling as the key regulators for the secretion of p35 from its homeostatic reservoirs in the endoplasmic reticulum. This p35 secretion, in the absence of co-expression of the p40 subunit, requires active gene expression, is independent of ER stress pathways, and is distinct from passive (cell-death dependent) release processes. Thus, an active sensory apparatus in non-hematopoietic cells contributes to the collaborative control of the trajectory of early immune differentiation.
