Functional Relevance of Interleukin-1 Receptor Inter-domain Flexibility for Cytokine Binding and Signaling.
Article in Structure (London, England : 1993), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
The interleukin 1 (IL-1) receptor family, whose members contain three immunoglobulin-like domains (D1-D3) in the extracellular region, is responsible for transmitting pleiotropic signals of IL-1 cytokines. The inter-domain flexibility of IL-1 receptors and its functional roles have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we used small-angle X-ray scattering to show that ligand-binding primary receptors and co-receptors in the family all have inherent inter-domain flexibility due to the D2/D3 linker. Variants of the IL-1RAcP and IL-18Rβ co-receptors with mutated D2/D3 linkers cannot form a cytokine-receptor complex and mediate signaling. Our analysis further revealed that these mutated co-receptors exhibited a changed conformational ensemble, suggesting that loss of function is due to the alteration of receptor dynamics. Taken together, our results demonstrate that the D2/D3 linker is a critical functional determinant of IL-1 receptor and underscore the important roles of the inter-domain flexibility in cytokine/receptor binding and signaling.
