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

objectiveIdentification of JAK2V617F in myeloproliferative disorders makes JAK2 an important marker for disease diagnosis and a highly attractive target for therapeutic drug development. This study is intended to identify a sensitive and specific substrate for assays of the JAK2 enzymatic activity.

methodsWe expressed a glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion protein designated GST-JAKS, which carries a peptide sequence derived from the autophosphorylation sites of human JAK2. The protein was purified from Escherichia coli cells and was used to analyze to tyrosine kinase activities of purified enzymes and crude cell extracts from cells, including mononuclear cells of JAK2V617F -positive polycythemia vera blood. It was also used to perform JAK2 kinase assays to screen inhibitors of JAK2.

resultsGST-JAKS is strongly phosphorylated by activated forms of JAK2 including JAK2V617F and recombinant protein containing its catalytic domain alone. It showed minimal responses to wild-type JAK2 and was not phosphorylated by the epidermal growth receptor and the insulin receptor tyrosine kinases. Kinase assays with GST-JAKS provide a sharp contrast between wild-type and mutant JAK2,V617F and are sensitive enough to detect minute amounts of JAK2V617F found in crude cell extracts. Assays can be scaled up to screen for inhibitors of JAK2 in a dot blot format.

conclusionGST-JAKS is sensitive and specific protein substrate for JAK2 assays. It may have clinical applications in diagnosis of diseases related to abnormal JAK2 activity. It is also an excellent substrate for development of large scale assays to screen JAK2 inhibitors.
