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

The SERINC (serine incorporator) proteins are host restriction factors that inhibit infection by HIV through their incorporation into virions. Here, we found that SERINC3 and SERINC5 exhibited additional antiviral activities by enhancing the expression of genes encoding type I interferons (IFNs) and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling. SERINC5 interacted with the outer mitochondrial membrane protein MAVS (mitochondrial antiviral signaling) and the E3 ubiquitin ligase and adaptor protein TRAF6, resulting in MAVS aggregation and polyubiquitylation of TRAF6. Knockdown of SERINC5 in target cells increased single-round HIV-1 infectivity, as well as infection by recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV) bearing VSV-G or Ebola virus (EBOV) glycoproteins. Infection by an endemic Asian strain of Zika virus (ZIKV), FSS13025, was also enhanced by SERINC5 knockdown, suggesting that SERINC5 has direct antiviral activities in host cells in addition to the indirect inhibition mediated by its incorporation into virions. Further experiments suggested that the antiviral activity of SERINC5 was type I IFN–dependent. Together, these results highlight a previously uncharacterized function of SERINC proteins in promoting NF-κB inflammatory signaling and type I IFN production, thus contributing to its antiviral activities.
