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

The interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1) is a member of the IRAK kinase family that plays a pivotal role in the Toll/IL-1 receptor (TIR) family signaling cascade. We have identified a novel splice variant, IRAK1c, which lacks a region encoded by exon 11 of the IRAK1 gene. IRAK1c expression was confirmed by both RNA and protein detection. Although both IRAK1 and IRAK1c are expressed in most tissues tested, IRAK1c is the predominant form of IRAK1 expressed in the brain. Unlike IRAK1, IRAK1c lacks kinase activity and cannot be phosphorylated by IRAK4. However, IRAK1c retains the ability to strongly interact with IRAK2, MyD88, Tollip, and TRAF6. Overexpression of IRAK1c suppressed NF-kappaB activation and blocked IL-1beta-induced IL-6 as well as lipopolysaccharide- and CpG-induced tumor necrosis factor alpha production in multiple cellular systems. Mechanistically, we provide evidence that IRAK1c functions as a dominant negative by failing to be phosphorylated by IRAK4, thus remaining associated with Tollip and blocking NF-kappaB activation. The presence of a regulated, alternative splice variant of IRAK1 that functions as a kinase-dead, dominant-negative protein adds further complexity to the variety of mechanisms that regulate TIR signaling and the subsequent inflammatory response.
