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

Tec family tyrosine kinases transduce signals from antigen and other receptors. In particular, Itk plays an important role in T-cell development and activation. Itk has an N-terminal pleckstrin homology domain, a Tec Homology domain with a proline-rich region, SH3 and SH2 domains and a kinase domain, the structure each of which has been determined. However, the full structure of Itk and other Tec kinases remain elusive. Models of Itk suggest either a head to tail dimer, with the SH2 domain interacting with the SH3 domain, or a folded monomer with the SH3 domain interacting with the proline-rich region. We show here that in vivo Itk exists as a monomer, with the pleckstrin homology domain less than 80 A from the C terminus. Zn2+ coordinating residues in the Tec Homology domain, not the proline-rich region, are critical for this intramolecular interaction. These data have implications for our understanding of Tec family kinase structure.
