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

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a haemopoietic growth factor that acts though a ternary receptor signalling complex containing specific alpha (GMRalpha) and common beta (betac) receptor subunits. Human GM-CSF is encoded by the gene csf2, while the genes for GMRalpha and betac are csf2ra and csf2rb, respectively. Crystals of the ternary ectodomain complex comprising GM-CSF and the soluble extracellular regions of both the GMRalpha subunit and either betac or its glutamine-substitution mutant N346Q were obtained using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. The best diffracting crystals of the ternary complex were obtained using the N346Q mutation of the betac subunit. These crystals grew using polyethylene glycol 3350 with a high concentration of proline, belonged to space group P6(3)22 and diffracted to 3.3 A resolution.
