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

Synthetic strategies to activate cytokine receptors so far only address standard dimeric cytokine receptor assemblies. The 19 ligands of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily (TNFSF), however, form noncovalent trimers and receptor trimerization is considered to be essential for receptor activation. Synthetic TNFR1, TNFR2, and Fas/CD95 receptors were activated by synthetic trimeric ligands which induced NF-κB signaling or Caspase-induced apoptosis. Albeit dimeric receptor activation did not induce synthetic TNFR1 and TNFR2 signaling, dimeric FasL induced extenuated apoptosis. Simultaneous integration of dimeric Interleukin (IL-)6 receptor gp130 and trimeric Fas as synthetic cytokine receptors in one cell enabled binary cell fate decisions, gp130-mediated proliferation or Fas-mediated apoptosis. In summary, our modular fully synthetic cytokine signaling system allows precisely orchestrated cellular responses to selectively induce pro- and anti-apoptotic signaling via canonical dimeric receptors of the IL-6 family and non-canonical trimeric receptor complexes of the TNF superfamily.
