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

Interleukin-18 (IL-18), a pro-inflammatory cytokine belonging to the interleukin-1 (IL-1) family, is involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune/autoinflammatory and allergic diseases such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis and bronchial asthma. IL-18 forms a signalling complex with the IL-18 receptor α (IL-18Rα) and β (IL-18Rβ) chains; however, the detailed activation mechanism remains unclear. Here, the IL-18-IL-18Rα binary and IL-18-IL-18Rα-IL-18Rβ ternary complexes were purified and crystallized as well as IL-18 alone. An X-ray diffraction data set for IL-18 was collected to 2.33 Å resolution from a crystal belonging to space group P21, with unit-cell parameters a = 68.15, b = 79.51, c = 73.46 Å, β = 100.97°. Crystals of both the IL-18 binary and ternary complexes belonging to the orthorhombic space groups P21212 and P212121, respectively, diffracted to 3.10 Å resolution. Unit-cell parameters were determined as a = 135.49, b = 174.81, c = 183.40 Å for the binary complex and a = 72.56, b = 111.56, c = 134.57 Å for the ternary complex.
