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

Loss of SHARPIN, a component of the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC), causes systemic inflammation including the accumulation of eosinophils across multiple tissues in mice. However, the mechanisms by which SHARPIN regulates type 2 inflammation remain unclear. Here, we found that SHARPIN deficiency resulted in increased numbers of type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) in the lung and other tissues via a cell-extrinsic mechanism. SHARPIN loss enhanced interleukin-33 (IL-33) production by lung stromal cells in vivo and in vitro, thereby promoting ILC2 proliferation. Mechanistically, SHARPIN directly bound IL-33 through its Pleckstrin homology-linker region and restrained IL-33 release independently of its ubiquitination. Combined deficiency of SHARPIN and IL-33 completely reversed ILC2 increase and lung inflammation, but not stromal cell death. Our study reveals a non-canonical, ubiquitin-independent function of SHARPIN as a gatekeeper of IL-33-driven type 2 inflammation.
