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

backgroundThe Janus family of kinases (JAKs), Jak1, Jak2, Jak3, and Tyk2, constitute a subgroup of non-receptor protein tyrosine kinases. Upon cytokine binding, the receptor-associated kinases are activated and phosphorylate tyrosine residues in their cognate cytokine receptors. Their activities are controlled at several levels and include cellular concentration, auto-activation, and degradation. PRINCIPAL

findingsOur findings show that elevated temperatures in the fever range irreversibly aggregate Jak2 and considerably reduce functional Jak2 protein levels. Jak2 synthesis remains unaltered. We observed that also the protein level of the signal transducer and activator of transcription, STAT5b, is transiently decreased at temperatures above 37°C. Consequently, the signaling response, e.g. via the growth hormone receptor, is reduced. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: These findings predict that elevated body temperatures lower the responsiveness of cytokine receptors.
