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

Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) plays a critical role in orchestrating hematopoiesis, and its deregulation leads to various blood disorders, most importantly myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). Ruxolitinib, fedratinib, momelotinib, and pacritinib are FDA-/EMA-approved JAK inhibitors effective in relieving symptoms in MPN patients but show variable clinical profiles due to poor JAK selectivity. The development of next-generation JAK2 inhibitors is hampered by the lack of comparative functional analysis and knowledge of the molecular basis of their selectivity. Here, we provide mechanistic profiling of the four approved and six clinical-stage JAK2 inhibitors and connect selectivity data with high-resolution structural and thermodynamic analyses. All of the JAK inhibitors potently inhibited JAK2 activity. Inhibitors differed in their JAK isoform selectivity and potency for erythropoietin signaling, but their general cytokine inhibition signatures in blood cells were comparable. Structural data indicate that high potency and moderate JAK2 selectivity can be obtained by targeting the front pocket of the adenosine 5'-triphosphate-binding site.
