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 signalling of interleukin-23 (IL-23) and its receptor (IL-23R) is a key element in the differentiation of T cells to the Th17 phenotype. Here, we present the identification and characterization of human IL23R splice variants resulting from alternative splicing of the IL23R mRNA, from activated human leukocytes, following the analysis of IL23R cDNA. Twenty-four different IL23R transcripts were observed in this study, which may potentially lead to an alteration in the protein coding region of IL-23R alpha. Consequently, by analysing amino acid sequences deduced from alternatively spliced mRNA sequences, four different putative premature early termination forms of IL-23R alpha: (1) a very short 'IL-23R alpha', (2) an IL-23R alpha containing only the extracellular region, (3) a IL-23R alpha with truncated intracellular domain and (4) in-frame exon-skipping causing changes to the extracellular region of the IL-23R alpha were revealed. These changes may affect the function of IL-23R by altering the ligand-binding interaction, producing a soluble form of the receptor to act as a decoy receptor and/or modify the IL-23/IL-23R signalling, respectively. Taken together, identification of potentially functional splice variants of IL23R underscores the biological diversity of the IL23R gene and will aid in the understanding of the gene's function in normal and pathological conditions.
