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 high-affinity receptor for human granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) is composed of two subunits, alpha and beta. The alpha subunit binds GM-CSF with low affinity, whereas the beta subunit does not bind GM-CSF by itself. The alpha and beta subunits together form the high-affinity GM-CSF receptor. The beta subunit has extensive sequence homology with the mouse interleukin 3 (IL-3) receptor (AIC2A) and its homologue (AIC2B) that does not bind IL-3 or other cytokines including GM-CSF. To examine the function of these receptor components, we expressed the alpha subunit of the hGM-CSF receptor with the human beta subunit or the mouse AIC2A or AIC2B in a mouse IL-3-dependent pro-B-cell line, Ba/F3, and in a mouse IL-2-dependent T-cell line, CTLL2. Coexpression of the alpha and beta subunits in Ba/F3 and CTLL2 cells resulted in high-affinity hGM-CSF binding and growth response to low concentrations of hGM-CSF. Whereas Ba/F3 cells expressing the alpha subunit alone proliferated in response to high concentrations of hGM-CSF, CTLL2 cells expressing the alpha subunit alone did not respond to hGM-CSF at all. Since Ba/F3 cells express endogenous AIC2A and AIC2B whereas CTLL2 expresses neither of them, we examined the possibility that either AIC2A or AIC2B is involved in the formation of a functional GM-CSF receptor. The expression of the human alpha subunit with AIC2B, but not with AIC2A, in CTLL2 cells conferred a growth response to hGM-CSF. These results indicate that the beta subunit of the GM-CSF receptor is required for generation of growth signals and that AIC2B is likely the beta subunit of the mouse GM-CSF receptor.
