IFN𝛾 and IFN𝛾 mimetics prevent IFN-I-mediated TB susceptibility by regulating iron metabolism and lipid peroxidation.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Type I interferons (IFN-I) and IFNγ exert divergent effects during tuberculosis, but the mechanisms that determine whether macrophage activation promotes host defense or inflammatory pathology remain incompletely understood. Here, we dissect the interplay between IFN-I and IFNγ in macrophage activation using genetically susceptible B6.Sst1S macrophages. We show that, during tumor necrosis factor (TNF) stimulation, susceptible macrophages enter a persistent pathological activation state (pPAS) characterized by sustained lipid peroxidation and super-induction of IFN-I responses. This pathological state is maintained by autocrine IFN-I signaling. In contrast, IFNγ priming prevents pPAS development by enhancing macrophage resilience to oxidative stress, in part through regulation of iron metabolism and induction of ferritin expression.
