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 transcription factor interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) functions as an important mediator of the inflammatory response downstream of MyD88-dependent TLRs. Whereas dysregulation of IRF5 activity has been implicated in the development of numerous autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus, the factors that modulate TLR-induced IRF5 post-translational modifications are poorly understood. The focus of this study was to identify novel kinases in TLR-MyD88-IRF5 signaling. We performed a kinome-wide siRNA screen in human THP-1 monocytic cells and identified serine/threonine protein kinase 25 (STK25) as a positive regulator of pro-inflammatory cytokine production via phosphorylation of IRF5 at Thr265, leading to IRF5 transcriptional activation. We further found that STK25 undergoes autophosphorylation in response to multiple TLR triggers. Findings were validated in
