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

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are pivotal in triggering the innate immune response to pathogen infection. Ligand binding induces receptor dimerization which facilitates the recruitment of other post-receptor signal transducers into a complex signalosome, the Myddosome. Central to this process is Myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88), which is required by almost all TLRs, and signaling is thought to proceed via the stepwise, sequential assembly of individual components. Here, we show that the death domains of human MyD88 spontaneously and reversibly associate to form helical filaments in vitro. A 3.1-Å cryoelectron microscopy structure reveals that the architecture of the filament is identical to that of the 6:4 MyD88-IRAK4-IRAK2 hetero-oligomeric Myddosome. Additionally, the death domain of IRAK4 interacts with the filaments to reconstitute the non-stoichiometric 6:4 MyD88-IRAK4 complex. Together, these data suggest that intracellularly, the MyD88 scaffold may be pre-formed and poised for recruitment of IRAKs on receptor activation and TIR engagement.
