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

Mast cell (MC)-driven allergic diseases are constantly expanding and require the development of novel pharmacological MC stabilizers. Allergen/antigen (Ag)-triggered activation via crosslinking of the high-affinity receptor for IgE (FcεRI) is fundamentally regulated by SRC family kinases, for example, LYN and FYN, exhibiting positive and negative functions. We report that KIRA6, an inhibitor for the endoplasmic reticulum stress sensor IRE1α, suppresses IgE-mediated MC activation by inhibiting both LYN and FYN. KIRA6 attenuates Ag-stimulated early signaling and effector functions such as degranulation and proinflammatory cytokine production/secretion in murine bone marrow-derived MCs. Moreover, Ag-triggered bronchoconstriction in an ex vivo model and IgE-mediated stimulation of human MCs were repressed by KIRA6. The interaction of KIRA6 with three MC-relevant tyrosine kinases, LYN, FYN, and KIT, and the potential of KIRA6 structure as a pharmacophore for the development of respective single-, dual-, or triple-specificity inhibitors, was evaluated by homology modeling and molecular dynamics simulations. We found that KIRA6 particularly strongly binds the inactive state of LYN, FYN, and KIT with comparable affinities. In conclusion, our data suggest that the chemical structure of KIRA6 as a pharmacophore can be further developed to obtain an effective MC stabilizer.
