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

Interferon (IFN) signalling is essential for antiviral defence yet pathogenic in autoimmunity, however, the mechanisms orchestrating this duality remain poorly defined. Here, we identify USP30-AS1, a cytoplasmic long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) induced by type I IFN, as a pivotal post-transcriptional amplifier of innate immunity. We demonstrate that USP30-AS1 selectively enhances the mRNA stability of nucleic acid sensors. Moreover, USP30-AS1 preferentially stabilizes the majority of AU-rich element (ARE)-containing interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) mRNAs. USP30-AS1 executes this function independently of its antisense partner, USP30. The deletion of USP30-AS1 impaired IFN-β-mediated antiviral defence and suppressed pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Consistent with its role in amplifying immune responses, USP30-AS1 was markedly upregulated in human autoimmune diseases characterised by dysregulated IFN signalling, including systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and dermatomyositis. Thus, our work unveils USP30-AS1 as a key regulator that fine-tunes the stability of nucleic acid sensors and ARE-containing immune transcripts, providing a direct mechanistic link between IFN signalling and post-transcriptional gene regulation. These findings establish USP30-AS1 as a critical rheostat for immune homeostasis and a promising therapeutic target for IFN-associated diseases.
