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-1 receptor associated kinases (IRAKs) are key players in innate immune signaling that mediate the host response to pathogens. In contrast to the active kinases IRAK1 and IRAK4, IRAK2 and IRAK3 are pseudokinases lacking catalytic activity and their functions are poorly understood. IRAK3 is thought to be a negative regulator of innate immune signaling and mutations in IRAK3 are associated with asthma and cancer. Here, we report the crystal structure of the human IRAK3 pseudokinase domain in a closed, pseudoactive conformation. IRAK3 dimerizes in a unique way through a head-to-head arrangement not observed in any other kinases. Multiple conserved cysteine residues imply a potential redox control of IRAK3 conformation and dimerization. By analyzing asthma-associated mutations, we identify an evolutionarily conserved surface on IRAK3 that could form an interaction interface with IRAK4, suggesting a model for the negative regulation of IRAK4 by IRAK3.
