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

Infectious diseases and autoimmunity are leading causes of mortality worldwide. The lack of vaccines and resistance to current treatments by microbes highlight the importance of developing novel therapeutics. Similarly, treatments for autoimmune diseases are limited and require improved approaches. Identifying relevant proteins involved in host defense and tolerance to self-antigens is key to designing novel therapeutic strategies. Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) is a host glycoprotein involved in host defense and inflammation. Here, we analyze how TSP-1 interacts with different ligands involved in immunity. Then, we discuss the roles of TSP-1 in infection and autoimmunity to finally examine the therapeutic potential of TSP-1.
