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

Interferons (IFNs) affect almost all nucleated cells and induce transcriptional events that are associated with control of intracellular infections as well as regulatory pathways that influence inflammatory processes. How different hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cell types interpret these signals is a reflection of cellular context and function. For example, neurons are often viewed as immunologically inert and have muted responses to IFNs. However, because neurons can be targeted by several classes of pathogens, there is a need for these cells to sense infection and respond to IFNs to engage anti-microbial activities. This review discusses the unique features of neuronal IFN signaling, emphasizing how JAK-STAT pathway engagement and downstream induction of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) shape intrinsic and extrinsic neuronal anti-pathogen defense.
