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-stimulated genes (ISGs) are classically recognized for their direct antiviral functions, such as viral genome degradation or replication blockade. However, emerging evidence reveals that ISGs orchestrate a broader landscape of host defense by rewiring cellular metabolism. These mechanisms are still not fully understood in the context of antiviral immunity. This review synthesizes recent advances in understanding how ISGs modulate metabolic pathways (e.g., glycolysis, lipid metabolism, amino acids, and nucleotide metabolism) to create an antiviral cellular environment. However, viruses have developed strategies to evade or counteract ISG-encoded proteins, and some even hijack certain ISGs to their advantage. Therefore, we further explore how viruses subvert these ISG-driven metabolic to evade host defenses. Overall, we summarize the current state of knowledge on the interactions between viruses and ISGs and propose that ISGs act as "protective" or "pathogenic" regulators at the dimensions of metabolism, offering new perspectives for targeting host-centered pathways to combat viral infections.
