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

Interleukine-3 (IL-3) binds its receptor and initiates a cascade of signaling processes that regulate the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic cells. To understand the detailed mechanisms of IL-3 induced receptor activation, we generated a homology model of the IL-3:receptor complex based on the closely related crystal structure of the GM-CSF:receptor complex. Model-predicted interactions between IL-3 and its receptor are in excellent agreement with mutagenesis data, which validate the model and establish a detailed view of IL-3:receptor interaction. The homology structure reveals an IL-3:IL-3 interaction interface in a higher-order complex modeled after the dodecamer of the GM-CSF:receptor complex wherein an analogous GM-CSF:GM-CSF interface is also identified. This interface is mediated by a proline-rich hydrophobic motif (PPLPLL) of the AA' loop that is highly exposed in the structure of isolated IL-3. Various experimental data suggest that this motif is required for IL-3 function through receptor-binding independent mechanisms. These observations are consistent with structure-function studies of the GM-CSF:receptor complex showing that formation of the higher-order cytokine:receptor complex is required for signaling. However, a key question not answered from previous studies is how cytokine binding facilitates the assembly of the higher-order complex. Our studies here reveal a potential cytokine-cytokine interaction that participates in the assembly of the dodecamer complex, thus linking cytokine binding to receptor activation.
