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

In vertebrates, PIAS genes encode versatile cellular regulators, with functions extremely complex and redundant. Here we try to understand their functions from an evolutionary perspective. we evaluate the sequences, expression and molecular functions of amphioxus PIAS genes and compare them with their vertebrate counterparts. Phylogenetic analysis suggests a single PIAS gene in ancestral chordates, which has been duplicated into four families (PIAS1-4) in vertebrates by 2R-WGD but remained single in a basal chordate (amphioxus). Amphioxus PIAS encodes two variants with and without a Serine/Threonine-rich tail, which are retained in human PIAS1-3 but lost in PIAS4. We show that amphioxus PIAS binds C-terminus of NF-κB Rel and blocks the DNA binding activity. In humans, such function is retained in PIAS1, altered in PIAS4, and lost in PIAS2-3. Instead, PIAS3 has evolved new ability to inhibit Rel by binding RHD and promoting SUMOylation. We show that amphioxus PIAS also inhibits NF-κB by binding with upstream signalling adaptor TICAM-like and MyD88. Finally, we verify that human PIAS1, 3 and 4, but not 2, were capable of these newly-discovered functions. Our study offers insight into the sub- and neo-functionalization of PIAS genes and suggests a conserved ancient role for chordate PIAS in NF-κB signalling.
