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

The cytoplasmic Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domains of IL-1 receptors (IL-1Rs) are evolutionally conserved and essential for transmitting signals. IL-1RAcP is a shared co-receptor in the IL-1R family for signaling. Its splicing form IL-1RAcPb contains a different TIR domain and is unable to transduce NF-κB signaling. Here, we determined crystal structures of TIR domains of IL-1RAcPb and other IL-1Rs including IL-18Rβ, IL-1RAPL2, and zebrafish SIGIRR (zSIGIRR). Structurally variant regions in the TIR domain important for signaling were revealed by structural comparisons. Taking advantage of the IL-1RAcP/IL-1RAcPb pair, we demonstrated that differential TIR domain determines signaling discrepancies between IL-1RAcP and IL-1RAcPb. We also proved the functional importance of two helices (αC and αD) in the structurally variable regions and pinpointed critical residues in αC and αD for signaling. These results collectively provide additional and important knowledge for fully understanding the molecular basis of IL-1R TIR domain in mediating signaling.
