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

Excessive innate immune activation drives uncontrolled inflammation and multiple inflammatory diseases. Proper N-glycosylation of membrane-associated Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is essential for its trafficking to the cell membrane and subsequent innate activation, yet the mechanisms regulating this process remain poorly understood. Through a genome-wide CRISPR screening, we identify calsyntenin-3 (CLSTN3) as a potent suppressor of TLR4-triggered inflammation in macrophages. Mechanistically, CLSTN3 binds to the oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) subunit DDOST, inhibiting its interaction with the catalytic subunit STT3A and impairing OST complex assembly, which reduces N-glycosylation and membrane translocation of TLR4. Furthermore, CLSTN3 also suppresses membrane translocation and activation of other TLRs, including TLR3, TLR7 and TLR9. In addition,
