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

Tripartite motif-containing protein 21 (TRIM21/Ro52) is a pivotal E3 ubiquitin ligase and cytoplasmic fragment crystallizable receptor (FcR). It plays a crucial role in viral infections, autoimmune disorders, and cancers by regulating multiple cell signaling axes, including the NF-κB, RIG-I-like receptor (RLR), cGAS-STING, and Toll-like receptor (TLR) pathways. Type I interferon (IFN-I), a pleiotropic cytokine, is produced via these immune signaling pathways, which are often triggered by viral components. TRIM21 both activates IFN-I signaling and mediates its negative feedback through post-translational modification of key immune signaling proteins, thereby maintaining immune homeostasis. In recent years, TRIM21 has been found to dually regulate autophagy and IFN-I in the context of virus-host interplay. Herein, we systematically summarize the functional roles of TRIM21 in virus-triggered intracellular immunity, aiming to provide insights for researchers and inspire further investigation in this area.
