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

Oncostatin M (OSM) and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) are closely related members of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) cytokine family. Both cytokines share a common origin and structure, and both interact through a specific region, termed binding site III, to activate a dimeric receptor complex formed by glycoprotein 130 (gp130) and LIF receptor (LIFR) in humans. However, only OSM activates the OSM receptor (OSMR)-gp130 complex. The molecular features that enable OSM to specifically activate the OSMR are currently unknown. To define specific sequence motifs within OSM that are critical for initiating signaling via OSMR, here we generated chimeric OSM-LIF cytokines and performed alanine-scanning experiments. Replacement of the OSM AB loop within OSM's binding site III with that of LIF abrogated OSMR activation, measured as STAT3 phosphorylation at Tyr-705, but did not compromise LIFR activation. Correspondingly, substitution of the AB loop and D-helix in LIF with their OSM counterparts was sufficient for OSMR activation. The alanine-scanning experiments revealed that residues Tyr-34, Gln-38, Gly-39, and Leu-45 (in the AB loop) and Pro-153 (in the D-helix) had specific roles in activating OSMR but not LIFR signaling, whereas Leu-40 and Cys-49 (in the AB loop), and Phe-160 and Lys-163 (in the D-helix) were required for activation of both receptors. Because most of the key amino acid residues identified here are conserved between LIF and OSM, we concluded that comparatively minor differences in a few amino acid residues within binding site III account for the differential biological effects of OSM and LIF.
