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

Adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 1 (ADAR1) is a central regulator of innate immunity. By binding to and catalyzing adenosine-to-inosine deamination within double-stranded RNAs, ADAR1 mitigates the immunogenicity of self-derived RNAs and preserves cellular homeostasis. In this review, we summarize recent structural and mechanistic advances that illuminate key features of ADAR1 architecture, including how its multi-domains engage dsRNA substrates and contribute to substrate selectivity. Integrated with decades of biochemical and genetic studies, these insights refine our understanding of ADAR1's catalytic mechanism, domain-specific activities, and roles in suppressing immune signaling. We further highlight emerging knowledge on ADAR1's RNA substrate landscape, its interactions with protein partners, and the mechanistic principles that underlie its broad RNA editing and immune regulatory functions, with implications for disease pathogenesis and therapeutic RNA editing.
