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

Cdk9 is a member of the Cdc2-like family of kinases. It binds to members of the family of cyclin T (T1, T2a and T2b) and to cyclin K. The Cdk9/cyclin T complex appears to be involved in regulating several physiological processes. In fact Cdk9 is the kinase of the P-TEFb complex, involved in basal transcription. Cdk9 has also been described as the kinase of the TAK complex, homologous to P-TEFb and involved in HIV replication. Here we show that Cdk9 interacts with gp130, the receptor of the Interleukin-6 (IL-6) family of cytokines, which includes Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF), Oncostatin M (OSM), Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor (CNTF), Interleukin-11 (IL-11) and Cardiotrophin (CT-1). IL-6 is a key regulator of hematopoiesis, immunological responses and inflammation. In addition, IL-6 plays a major role in the endocrine and nervous systems. Signal transduction by gp130 is mediated by physical interaction of the cytoplasmic region of gp130 with cellular kinases and results in the transcriptional activation of cellular and viral genes. We found that Cdk9 interacts in vitro with the cytoplasmic region of gp130 and we succeded in reproducing this interaction in vivo. Cdk9 expression was found both in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm. The binding occurring between Cdk9 and gp130 increased upon IL-6 stimulation. We also observed that Cdk9 synergized with IL-6 in inducing the activation of an IL-6-responsive reporter plasmid. In summary, these results point to a previously undisclosed role for Cdk9 in signal transduction.
